I bring it down under my chin (but not much farther) and keep my hands maybe 2-3" out on either side past shoulder width. There's a mirror directly in front that keeps me in check. Also, if I get stuck, I can just stand up and put the bar on the rests in front of me (there's 2 behind and 1 in front).

Haven't noticed any pain during or after with the exercise so far, so that's a good thing...
