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.
Well to me, it's not about the numbers but the results you from whatever you're benching. Oh well, I guess whatever works for you, go for it I get what you mean though.

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.
Gotcha. I'll look into that...Thanks Mouse.
