ok so any of you guys do this? basically i read in an article awhile ago that the way normal dumbell bench is preformed doesnt build power and is bad for your shoulders.. What you do is keep elbows 45 degress to your body just like a powerlifting bench. When you push up the dumbell there is like a triangle at the top, with the edges of the circular parts touching, Instead of the regular 2 circular ends of the dumbell touching compltely.
Also with this type of dumbell the bottom part of the press is really hard and goes way deeper then you would with regular form 90 degree dumbell bench. last year i use to get stuck benching right of my chest do 4-5 reps and 6th bam stuck at the bottom. Now i can get a little above half way and then get stuck on lockout but i know floor bench and rack lockouts quickly fix that.. anyways just wanted to see if anyone else does that.
