@BLbenz They're called slingshots powerlifters use them to keep their elbows tucked and push the weight more effectively. Some use it as a preventative measure from causing and injury to the the shoulder joint.

what muscles does this work out ?

@BLbenz Its calld a "slingshot" it helps keep you tight and also give you a lil boost.. its good for when you get to the HEAVY weights so you don't fuc your shoulders up

Well done. Very impressive. Check my videos for the bench press competitions we had at our gym. At 85kg body weight we had a guy benching over 220kg!

When training for a meet, I rest about 2 mins depending on the % of my 1rm. Even when going for max never more than 5 min. But, general training is 30 seconds for single joint movements and 1 min for compound lifts (squats, dips, deads, rows, push press).

Wow, that's amazing! However, I often wonder why a lot of men concentrate all their time on the bench press? Just an observation. I stopped bench pressing a year ago when I noted that having a super strong chest didn't do much for me. Now I spend all my time doing weighted sit-ups, and weighted chin-ups, and find that I can transfer these strength gains to other areas of my life.

i am not a big fan of the bench press overall as an exercise. BUT, if you enter a bench press contest you really don't have any options other than to train for that specific exercise. it would be difficult to enter a bench press contest and expect to improve on that specific lift doing weighted sit up and weighted pull ups.
