I completly agree... you just feel more... SOLID on the bench. My workout partner and I both did everything he suggested and even if I didn't lift more than normal I FELT more solid and the push FELT more complete.
Pulling the bar forward instead of lifting it off the rack is one thing that makes a huge difference. If anything I will be doing that from now on. The only shitty part is that I have long arms and am fairly tall and my partners reach is not nearly the same so for me to pull it off rather than push it up to start I have to set the starting poing a notch higher on the bench so it's a bit of a pain in the ass as my partner does not have enough reach to remove the bar from the height that works the best for me.
My chest felt more "worked" than normal though after using his method as I think it forces your chest to actually do all the work instead of recruiting other muscles.
Berz out.
