My YouTube feed, besides looking like that of a serial killer, has been putting in a lot of Mark Rippetoe videos. I was just watching the shoulder press video and it got me thinking. Does, what bodybuilders consider cheating buy including bounce, actually hinder mass gains if the weight is increased substantially?
By Mark's method, if done correctly, it makes shoulder impingement impossible increasing safety. The down side is potential power loss through the kenetic chain via the increased number of joints between the floor and weight as compared to a seated shoulder press.
I plan to incorporate these either way as I can't see a downside for a noncompetitor in increasing explosive overall power but I'd like to get everyone's opinion on approaching lifts the way strength athletes do vs. Bodybuilders.
Another great video is the bent over row video. Similar idea in that one about explosiveness and there's a big difference information form.
