Bro, you're supposed to take a super-wide grip and bounce that shite off your chest.
Seriously, though - people taking a wide grip get to me. Keep your elbows close to your body, thumbs just off the smooth, and your shoulders will stay much healthier.

I literally read an article on Men's Health yesterday that stated the exact opposite.
They recommend putting your index finger on the ring marks. I've always put my ring finger there.
The claim was that wider grips shorten the distance of travel and decrease the dependence on your triceps.

If you want to bench heavier weights, go with a wider grip.
..and those who are good at benching can go wide AND keep their elbows in close.
