Bench form check

[Yeong Oh]

Hello!!

I have changed the form from a bit wider grip to medium grip.

Is this grip width appropriate for me?

My worry is that when looking at side view,

The bar seems like it has traveled a bit more than it should, so I don't know if I should keep going with this grip width,

or a bit more wider so I can put barbell more up towards my neck decreasing the moment arm.

Thanks for your valuable time! appreciate it

Yep, bar is a little too far down the chest. I also think you could do a better job getting squeezed up (back arched) and shoulders retracted. Your elbows are a little too much in front of the bar. So yes, widen the grip a bit - move your pinkies out to the rings, and get the bar back up your chest a bit.
