With bench press you're supposed to keep your wrist straight right? I had a hard time doing so with the close grip and wasn't able to get very low without them bending. How low should i go? |

| | | go to your chest, your wrists shouldn't bend. How narrow is your grip? your hands should be able to come down at the side of your body, you could be using too narrow a grip. |
