Adjusting grip width is a large factor in which muscles are exerted first.
Closer tris, wider chest.
So you think the "down slow and explode up" is good? Previously I'd go down slow and go up as fast as I could. Sometimes wasnt that fast depending on how much weight I was doing. I mean when I did pull downs in the explode method I'm not as sore and when I did more weight and controlled the weight throughout the rep. I was able to get back up to 80 lbs dumbells for the flat bench press again which was nice even though I'm only doing 6 reps with them instead of 10 like before. This is only week 4 of being back in it so it'll do for now
