So I went to the physical therapist today for a shoulder problem and talked to him about training. He said that on bench/incline bench you shouldn't touch your chest, that you should stop the bar at about 2 inches above your chest. He says that it damages your shoulders and weakens them when you bring it all the way to your chest. He said that while he was working at the university of Florida the lineman were having problems with their shoulders from touching their chest, so now in their training they don't let them touch their chests.
According to everything I've read on the internet he's wrong, but he is also the president of the board of physical therapists and has a lot of experience. Anybody have any insight on this?
