In fact, every muscle is activated more in narrow hands here
Absolute changes in muscle activation in pushups with different hand placement is marginal here
People can lift more weight in a regular (wider than shoulder width) grip in bench press compared to close grip - but produce more power in a narrow grip here and here
But grip width does not affect how many reps you can do here or here
