Default bench grip techniques

While I was searching for local bench press competitions, I came across this article about Ryan Kennelly--the first man to bench press 800lbs. On the page it talked of three grips: close, medium, and competition. Your 'reg' grip = comepition. 'Medium' = 2 inches in from there, and 'close' is another 2 in.

"The close grip is mostly used when training the head of the triceps.The medium grip is used in every other training lift that we perform in the gym. The close & medium grips will really make your triceps very strong and your explosive speed will increase once your triceps adapt to the workloads.."

Sound like BS? I was thinking of messing w/ my grips and seeing what it does for me, but I dont want to waste my time if it's theoretical bs. Input?
