I've always benched with a decently narrow grip with my pinkies on the rings. Is this legal? I couldn't find it in the rules of the usapl rule book.
What the previous posters said, plus pinkies on the rings isn't particularly narrow.
Well honestly i just got a new bar and the rings were further out and pinkies on ring felt too wide to me. So i wanted to know if I could go inside more.
I haven't read what others have said but the rules DO say you can't go narrow. your pinkys on the grip is like as narrow as competitions will allow.
The spacing of the hands shall not exceed 81 cm measured between the forefingers (both forefingers must be within the 81 cm marks and the whole of the forefingers must be in contact with the 81 cm
marks if maximum grip is used).

The widest competition allows you to go is pinky on the rings
