......Last night at the gym, I saw a variation of the bench press that I have never seen , or heard of. It was quiet funny and looked, well, a waste of time. But hey, I don't know everything.
I saw a guy on the bench (well there were two of them) he only had rather light weights on the bar, he was benching rather fast when he would release the bar at the top of each rep, catching it befor descending, and so on. The bar would go about 6inches or so from his hands. Look awfuly dangerous to me. What was it?

unsafe

LOL!! And here I thought I'd heard everything. You are correct. It is both dangerous and stupid. There is absolutely no benefit to doing that.

 

[RobGuns]

I agree! All I could do was imagine if the bar sliped, and what pissed me off was they did not have any collars on the bar either! Stupid!

I have seen a plyometric exercise with a medicine ball.......which seems a bit safer. my guess was that they were trying do that

What about this?

What's it called when guys do bench and use their chests as a trampoline?

I've heard of people training like this that were in college and were prepping for the NFL draft. Very dangerous, but then again, so is the NFL.
