    i do have a wide grip always and i was going for max reps. its not just with my chest i experience muscle fatigue in my entire body in about half the time as anyone else, and takes me twice as long to recover.

    Just a little food for thought.

    I was watching a Ripptoe video (Starting Strength) and learned that the wider the grip the easier the press becomes. It shortens the distance the bar needs to travel.

    He said and i quote " People who like to brag about bench numbers tend to favor this grip."

    I have used wide grip before and i see his point.
