Are there any dangers to it? I’m moving away from dumbbells temporarily for now because it’s hard to truly go wide on them without feeling like you’ll tip over.
Unless you’re a powerlifter w. long limbs, I don’t see why you’d need to go wide? Just add flyes.

i feel it way more in my chest going wide is why

I like these in the smith
ultra wide tends to fuck up the shoulders. from my experience anyways.

I hear ya. I do 'em, but only with light weight, as a guillotine press on the Smith Machine. I find it doesn’t bother my shoulders that way. I find heavy presses with a wide grip murder on my shoulders.

you need to be careful with this, make sure you have a spotter. I did this last night, you have to be careful with your wrists aswell. I feel it more across the upper chest(for a lack of a better term) aswell.

Try cable flys or crossovers instead then.
Concentrate on keeping your shoulders down, and shoulder blades retracted perhaps shoulders are going forwards hence not feeling it in the chest…

Some people will experience shoulder issues from this. Personally, I always liked it, and did feel more chest working from a wider hand spacing. Of course being naturally arm dominant, having a closer grip always allowed my stronger tris and delts to dominate the movement. When using a wide spacing though, I make sure I seriously warm up, and don’t do any of that bouncing off your chest BS, great way to hurt yourself. I figure this is like deadlifts,… a hell of a great exercise, but with a pretty high risk of injury if you do it incorrectly.
