This of course is just what I do...but what do I know?  |
You've been reading too many mags bro. Forget all the GH this and test release that. It's B.S. it's a misconception of TUT.
You are cheating yourself by not going all the way down.
Vplayer is a good example. Not to say anything bad about him, but his bench has not improved, and when he actually uses the bench instead of the smith, his numbers are not great, he too was doing that stuff. My bench flew by his when we were working out together.
bottom line. bring the bar all the way down.
also, just FYI, there are techniques that actually improve the bench by elimiating the tension at the bottom end, such as pause benching, which works the explosiveness off the bottom end of the movement.
