Its really personal preference but in my opinion for raw benchers your grip is going to be the strongest when you wrists and arms are perpendicular to the floor.

my curiosity has gotten the best of me, i went off program this week to test my 1RMs. I'm pleased but not satisfied.
285 bench was a touch and go. I got scared and didn't remember to pause it but I know I can. Went for 295 and just couldn't do it. 5lb pr
335 sq has been my pr for months. Once again, I get nervous under tension and you see me almost dump the weight as I lose balance. 350 sq was my pr attempt, strength was there but form and depth are questionable. I honestly think I can hit it if I'm really dialed in. 15lb pr
Going to test my deadlift on Saturday, hoping for 460 but I'll be satisfied with 445/450. Current PR is 435

Opti-bars have a quest like consistency they are a little more chalky if that makes sense. I bought a box on sale. The taste is ok. Not as good as quest but better then fitjoy
I know preference on taste in this thread is all over the place. The only down side is if you are calorie counting. Opt cookies and cream is like 250 cals for 20g protein. When quest has 190 in their cookies and cream for the same protein.
But its not a bad change of pace if you can get them for the low. There was a deal on slick deals a while back like box of 12 for $18 shipped i pulled the trigger

Shouldn't do that he say/she say until you do it yourself.
Told my homey who told me the same thing. Homey loves it and he said he's in the best shape of his life. Mind you he used to play football, 6'2, 235 lean

Iron October 4 in Sacramento, CA. I've done a few team ones and they are fun. This one is a partner one.
Definitely going to mobilize, but i'm one of those that needs to throw a little bit of weight around to keep things loose and not get sore the next day. I'll definitely keep it light and easy.

I don't care about bodyweight multipliers honestly, Im not competitive for my weight class past a local/state level for it to matter.
