With the wide grip, your ROM is severely restricted ... and if you have short arms like me, you're going to have some trouble un/re-racking the weight; so be careful. In retrospect, I probably could have gone heavier on the close grip; but that's what "next time" is for.
I really like this workout for 2 reasons:

1. you get a lot of "work" on a lot of different muscles in a relatively short period of time.

2. I believe you can't get big muscles without lifting big weights. Like Dokk said the close grip worked his tri's and you are able to load your tri's with a good amount of weight
