        then you need to lift b***h weights until your forearms catch up. if your wrists are bent back, you're just loading your bones to compensate for strength you don't have.

            sorry anon. that said, you might be overcorrecting and trying to grip with just your thumbs, which is also bad.
            see picrel, you should have plenty of palm available to hold the weight up.
            also seconding the other anon that her elbows are way too flared out. having your elbows in line with your pecs rather than closer to your armpits will make it a lot easier. mess around with your grip width too. and when you set up, make sure the bar is set low enough that you don't putt your shoulders out of tension to lift it off the rack.

                >bar is perpendicular to the knuckles

                what did he mean by this?

                Presumably that the bar lies perpendicular to the lines formed by the knuckles in your fingers

    Your arms are supposed to be parallel to your chest when benching, not flared at a 80 degree angle wtf

    Neither of these setups is correct. The bar should rest on the part of your palm that is between your index finger and thumb.

            Never even had a single instance of wrist pain from bench. Learn what a moment arm is you moronic frick. Your wrists can bend back some, the resulting shear forces are small as frick compared to the stress placed on them when you curl.

                The guy saying you can bend your wrist a bit is right. As long as your hands aren't at 90° with your arms and the bar isn't in the base of your fingers but in your palm, which is how the straight wrists thing came into existence.

                Anyone who tells you to keep your wrist perfectly in line with your forearm is obviously wrong. The thing you're trying to avoid is making an unnecessary moment arm starting at your wrist and ending somewhere on your palm. You want the bar directly in line with your ulna and radius bones. This necessitates bending your wrist back a little.

                ok so basically as long as my wrist isn't super bent or super straight i'll be fine?

                Look at it this way: the safest (read: not necessarily optimal in terms of force) wrist position is the one where no force is applied to the ligaments in your wrist. That is to say, the bar isn't pushing your wrist in any direction, forwards or backwards. Your wrist remains completely neutral and the bar rests across your palm. Powershitters will happily bend the wrist 90° and compensate with wraps for a tiny bit more on their totals.

                And to add to this, that means the bar isn't lying parallel to the first row of knuckles as probably feels the most natural. See part A in

                Ripplebreasts continues to have the best explanation of this.

                . Instead it lies from the contact point between your index and thumb, to somewhere directly on top of the carpals like in part B. You might be able to tell from part C that this means your fingers do not perfectly enclose the bar. Your ring and pinky fingers will probably only contact on the very last joint. Hence the way Ripplebreasts describes it: put the bar in your hand, rotate, then grip.
