Press Grip Width
Hi, coaches.
I wonder which grip width is proper to me.
I'm 5'8", 150lbs.
Thanks for your coaching!
17 inch:

Probably 17, or maybe 16. Bring your elbows in a little and straighten out your wrists. This will cause the bar to float a little higher, but that is okay.

I tried 17 inch grip with an empty bar. Tried to bring my arms in a little and straighten out my wrists.
I'm not sure if I'm doing good with the press because I've never felt good with the press.(actually I feel bad after the press)

I feel bad after presses, too. They hurt my feelings. Come to think of it, lifting weights hurts my feelings, too. That is why I try to avoid doing it.
Those look just fine. You could come in a little narrower, if you want, but there is nothing wrong there. If you come in narrower, keep the elbows in tight like you did there. You don't want a narrow grip with your elbows flaring out.
