Obviously the bar isn't bending, but this helps trigger the lat engagement you need to up your bench numbers.

It's tricky to get a feel for it, but once you do it will feel odd when you don't do it.
Even my buddies say the same. For some strange reason suicide grip feels comfortable for me, but you're absolutely right.

I always tell myself to relax or its volume day but I get carried away easily. Trying to find moderation between when its ok to push myself and when to back off a bit.
