How many pros do you see benching?i have been lifting heavy for the better part of 25 years, have had all sorts of injuries from sports and lifting- separated shoulder, elbow issues, reconstructed knees, sciatica, back pain, etc- lifting heavy on bench has not been a cause of any of them. And i use a very wide grip and for loads that i fail on at ~5 reps, some times less.
Personal variables like arm length, shoulder width, etc, factor in, so just find whatever grip works best for you and is comfortable. Too many people give bad advice on what certain lifting alignments others should do, and ignore what their body agrees with.
Cant tell you how many times ive had someone tell me i need to not go so wide on my grip or i will have shoulder issues.
the risk outweighs the reward.
