I am still kind of new to powerlifting...right now I am going by the basic Westside Template. I am not a competitive lifter so therefore when I go for my max I go raw. I was wondering what kind of grip I should use for going for my max? Should I go out the rings or should I use the grip that I used to use which is thumb distance from the smooth? Also if I do keep my grip within the rings, should I still bring the bar low to my stomach?

Thanks
