How do you bench? A lot of times, people have terrible habits, esp. bodybuilders. I've read articles for bodybuilders saying to use a wide grip to work the outer pecs (as if there was such a thing), or even worse..Flare your elbows out to really isolate the pecs.

Question, where are your fingers in relation to the bar? I personally always prefer no more than my pinkey's just inside the ring. It also is wise to tuck your elbows in before pressing.

I tore my pec from overuse. In hindsight, I don't believe flat bench should be used for more than 3-4 weeks tops before finding something else.
