Both are possible. Apparently the more your elbows are in, the more work your lats do. Unless of course you hyperextend the elbow behind the body, then the lats turn off and it's all posterior deltoid doing that hyper extension (maybe long tricep helps too not sure).

When your elbows move out, more of the upper back muscles work to pull the arm to the scapulae and the scapulae to the spine. The lats skip the scapulae and go directly to lower back.

You … can … but maybe try to find a barbell? If not maybe dumbbells?

The gym in my complex only has an assisted bench press (sigh). Will I be able to perform all of the 3-5 exercises if I am using the assisted bench?

Just wondering where the weight should be when it comes to your feet? Is it on the balls of your feet or more towards the heels or evenly distributed? Not sure if you still respond to this vid either way thanks for the technique tips.

@ Dan: Depends on how wide your grip is, just grip it about shoulder width …

@ Cris: 3-5 minutes of rest between sets when you’re training strength … you can go lower if you primarily want to build muscle.

Just wondering about the 3-5 rest? How many minutes between sets? and different exercises?
Thanks, Cris
(I like your site and ideas by the way)

I have a question: do your elbows go out, or stay in, tucked against your sides?
