What goes with you everywhere you go?

Answer: You.

That means you have to be happy being you. You have to be satisfied with ALL of you - that means YOUR body as well!!

What? Not happy with it?

You do realise that there is only one person on this planet that is going to be able to change the shape of your body to a shape that you will be happy and content with, don't you?

Who is it?

You!

The journey of a thousand miles starts with one small step. Who is going to have to take that one small step?

You!

The first small step - IDENTIFY YOUR GOAL

Chest Workout 0002

The grip you use on any exercise should have more to do with joint comfort than anything else. I appreciate that you have been told all about narrow grip verses wide grip, but at the end of the day if a narrow grip is causing you considerable pain in your elbows, it's just not worth going on with it. Ditto with any other grip width.

I suggest that you spend some time experimenting with different grip widths to find which one is truly comfortable for you to use for your entire life of bodybuilding. If it works for you then it is for you. All our bodies differ to some degree and that is what makes us all so interesting. Be prepared to be unique - because you are! Celebrate that.
