Question for the PRO's...about close grip bench

[Tman2002]

When doing close grip bench should I keep my elbows out or tucked in? I feel a better stretch with them out. Also were should the bar fall lower chest or higher? I'm trying add more size to my tri's.

Can someone go into great detail as this is a very poorly executed exercise and I think a few of us need some help with it.

I'll tell you how I do them. Elbows in, not directly pointed forward but almost, grip is alittle bit closer than shoulder width. The bar barely touches my upper chest. I want to hit my tris, not my chest. If I go any lower, I'm using too much chest. That's me. And I have excellent tris. Love that exercise.

Adamn good pro once told me hands just at shoulder width apart...elbows more tucked to the side than out...do not come all the way down to the chest.
