It depends what results you're looking for the grip targets two different areas. A closer grip will target your triceps where as a wider grip hits your chest more.

wide grip target outside of chest. close grip works tris more and inner chest.

How does the outside of the chest work versus the inside of the chest? They are the same muscle. Top vs. bottom I understand the argument (different tendon attachements, though even there I have my doubts). Outside vs. inside, I don't see it.

Genetics determine the shape of your chest.

Yes it does in a way, but not true and to the Thread starter are you doing a full body workout or split? for split 4-5 chest workouts. For Str workouts BB bench press 3 sets 4-6 reps ( first set if you do more then 6 means too light and less then 4 is too heavy, add weighted till 3rd set reps be barely 4) after i just say 2 sets of close grip 6-8 reps. After that hopefully you do incline Db press, flies and dips. Enjoy
