Re: The Road to 3/4/5Yup. I think it's pretty good as a bodybuilding movement. Much better stretch in the pecs at the bottom. A bit dangerous perhaps but I would never do it without a trusted spotter, much less weight than on a normal set of bench press and not really very close to failure at all. I'm sore, far more than I usually would be after a chest workout even if I change something to a more conventional excercise but your milage may vary. I'll keep it just because I feel like training like a little more of a bodybuilder over the next few months just to see where it goes.
