This is obviously not the point of the thread or story, but isn't the idea of bench press to be on a bench so the bar goes all the way to your chest?


Just a variation of the bench press (like incline or decline). I think theoretically you can lift heavier since you don't have to run the full range of motion. Maybe it also focuses more on specific muscle groups? I haven't done bench in forever though.

My father was a weight coach. We never did that particular range of motion but things have changed a lot since I was lifting heavy. It almost looks like a a safer way to do a narrow grip press. Maybe since the kid is only 14 his coach wants to protect his shoulders? Just guessing.
