Well you would know about powerlifting more than I... but don't most powerlifters grip wider to maximize the amount of weight they can put up?
I know the benefits of gripping wider and narrower for bodybuilding as working specific muscles more or less is more important that putting up max weight on every set.
Nope. It's generally a process of trial and error to find out which grip is strongest for you. I would say the vast majority of powerlifters will use different grips in training to address weaknesses, but where you grip in meets is personal preference and it's not always "wider is better."
