Where do you place your hands?

I keep mine a little closer than he did. But he is correct about elbows in and weight reduction to avoid injury.

About 12 " apart, far enough not to put undue stress on your wrist. Elbows in is necessary to isolate the triceps.

i just can't go to close wrists kill

 

[Thor]

Me too, a lot of wear and tear on the wrist at narrow grips.

I go about to the knurling now, just tad further in.
Depends on few factors, weight, flat or incline, my wo that day.
Still more narrow than my normal grip, don;t take much movement to hit/emphasize different area
