This will happen. You need to keep pushing. You will get through it.

For a big bench they tell you to have a good arch, keep your elbows tucked, and use a wider grip to lessen the distance. My question is: When you'r grip is wide, how tucked should your elbows be? At first I feel as if I lose power the more I tuck my elbows in. I just dont understand how far you should tuck your elbows in.
