I hear it wreaks bloody havoc on the shoulders though...



yes i shoulda pointed that out as it can really tax the delts if done sloppy or to heavy,i also use about half the weight i would use on reguler flat bench. its a movement thats meant to be done very smooth and controlled,if done any other way your delts might be trashed in a bad way

I assume you mean Robert? I have his book somewhere in my attic, which has a good collection of training ideas/concepts.

You have many people in the iron game who feel misunderstood. I'm sure he had a good understanding about training & nutrition and a strong will power as well, but again, you're born with a certain set of DNA.
He did a good job with Mohamed Makkawy, who defeated many guys bigger than him.

Yes he did, Vince was not the only Guy involved in Makkawys success. Ken Wheeler was also a big influence.
