    Dip form for bench carryover

    Dip form for bench carryover

    Yes, your right, whatever feels comfortable for you. Generally, when we say 'wider grip' we refer the angle of your elbows, as the distance of the bar is pretty much given at the rack. What you do is in tricep style you try to pull your elbows next to your body, say keep your arms parallel...
