Had my DE Bench workout today and decided to try something new. Instead of coming up explosively all the way and locking out (which stresses the elbows significantly), I kept the range of motion from my chest to only about half way up in the lift. For me, my weak point in my bench in my bench is at the bottom, and my speed at the top of the lift is great. I felt like doing this: 1) stressed the lower part of bench more, which is beneficial to those who are weak at the bottom, 2) enhanced explosion off the bottom, and 3) might save my decrepit left elbow for a few more years.
Any thoughts on whether or not this is a good or bad idea?
