Uh, enough weight to allow me to maintain good form with moderate reps, usually 8-10. Depending on the exercise, it can be 3 to 10 sets. biggrin.gif

3 to 10?? shocking.gif

What exercise requires 10 sets?

Yeah, I agree that large muscles (such as the pecs) have different 'zones'.
I once tried flexing the pec with my arms in different positions. Different 'zones' of the pec are tighter.

I never understand the grip width for bench press. If you want to get the most ROM and activation, just do close grip.
I don't believe the pecs work less on close grip compare to wide grip. It should be working more due to longer ROM.
Using a wide grip on the bench press is like so not worth the effort.

The only exercise where I can feel grip width makes a difference is push ups.
*
I'm somewhat skeptical about that bro, I did some research myself about this topic before, and the consensus is that wide grip works the pectorals abit more, while closer grip works the triceps more.

QUOTE
Hand position

    * Varying the width of the grip can shift stress between pectorals and triceps. A wide grip focuses on the pectorals. A narrow, shoulder width grip focuses more on the triceps.

wiki

QUOTE
Grip has an important function with respect to bench press. When you grasp the bar at exactly shoulder width or less, you are forcing most of the angle of motion to occur in the elbow joint rather than where your upper arm meets your body. This means that more tension is shifted to the triceps muscles. A close-gripped bench press is often considered a triceps exercise, even though the chest is still somewhat involved (any movement of the upper arm with respect to the torso will involve the chest).

source

I find that wide grip benching does work on my pecs and anterior delts more, but perhaps the grip mechanics vary for different people. Dumbell presses are still my favourite chest exercise though (standard grip of course).
