Older vid, but posting for form critique.

I can do up to 90% or so with a super wide grip, normal grip for me is about 2 or 3" out from shoulder width, and it's never irritated my wrists, but that could just be me. Is that the issue at hand? Your wrists just don't move that way? If so, why bother benching that wide? If it's not reasonably comfortable, or if it hurts even with lighter weights, it might not be a good idea. My intention is not to be a jerk, this is a genuine inquiry.

If I come in any closer I'd be doing a CGBP. My pinkies are right inside the rings.

I'll just leave it at, don't use wrist wraps for light weight in training. It's a detrimental habit.

Yea, I never thought about it, but both of my parents have had carpeltunnel syndrome. That may have something to do with it.

Stronger wrists and balanced strength in the forearm are good ways to prevent help prevent carpal tunnel, or reduce the pain involved. My mom also has mild carpal tunnel from working on a keyboard for 20 years. After working with my Guide gripper and some rubber bands for extensors over the course of a few weeks, she said the pain was basically gone most of the time except for extended periods of time on the keyboard again. I'm not a doctor, nor a joint specialist, but I know that she has carpal tunnel and that increasing her wrist strength ever so slightly helped to alleviate the pain.

My guess is wrist wraps would do the opposite of what you want or need in that they would weaken your wrists.
