I have come under the impression that when i bench and my grip is farther apart and my elebows are straight out this works the chest as opposed to the tris. When I do close grip press and put the elebows in this works the triceps instead of the chest. Is this correct.

Yeah the more you have ure arms out to the side and have a wider grip the more chest ure goin to hit. When you bring ure elbows into ure sides ad close that grip u involve more tri and shoulder
Life is like a bear, it thinks it's playing with you, but its really kickin ure ass.--?
