I follow 5/3/1 ATM like big mick, except I do my 5x10 immediately after my main sets.
I enjoy it.. and it makes it easy to setup when all I've gotta do is pull some plates off lol. I don't know if one way is better than the other, but so far I'm comfortable with this.
DOMS after 5/3/1 + 5x10 squats do kick my arse though a day or two later haha
Attachment is too small/blurry to read.
It's a given that the bar will travel further with narrower grip on the left.
I'm guessing they are saying a greater range of motion of the narrow grip makes it a better exercise. Which is probably true, assuming the weight you can move is the same as with a moderate or wide grip, which is not the case since with a moderate or wide grip you are able to get your chest more involved.
Since you posted this in the strength forum im guessing its from the perspective of training for strength (not for a competition 1RM or for aesthetics), thus I would say that even if the greater range of motion is desirable, the ability to move more weight by engaging more muscles is more desirable.
The extra wide grip is probably good for many competitive lifters due to the reduced range of motion and thus bigger total, but I cant comment there really.
Taken me 6 months to move my grip out 5cm, definitely feel the benefit in a bench shirt, but takes time to get used to it raw.

1. A natural medium grip, except when I do CGBP.What grip width are you using and why?
What weekly rep ranges do you use?
Should we be training narrow width (hands shoulder width) as opposed to much wider?
