Lower. Below the nipples. Don't lockout at the top. Also do these in the smith, much safer.

Imagine yourself laying down on a bench. Now imagine looking at yourself from the side. You want to keep your elbows directly under your wrists the whole time! If you don't do this you put yourself in a terrible mechanical position and you are bound to end up ....ed up.

I wish I could get a side view on this, but these are good reps.

Yup.

You can see he actually is lowering the bar to just below the pecs.

The video definitely helped. My visualization of what you were describing was all wrong! Thanks for the posts, guys!

For some odd reason I can never twist my hands in a way to be able to really grip the bar when I'm doing these. It always feels like it's going to slip, is there a way to work on my wrist flexibility?

did them guite a lot some yrs back . because of my supraspinatus the regular grip was nono. however I did them for chest , not tri´s. the wider grip helps doing the movement IMO . I still feel them as pec movement . and a good one as well .
