Chiropractors love those lifts. So do spinal surgeons.
They did indeed do some exercises that we nowadays shun, nonetheless they did indeed build good physiques & strong backs

But an important one for people who want to lift for life.

Wes: Do you like behind the neck presses? I’ve always stayed away from them but tried them for the 1st time recently. I was surprised about how good they felt. I only did an empty barbell but it seemed to really open up my upper back.

In the early 90’s, I trained at a gym that had this piece of equipment. The gym ended up getting rid of it because it was rarely used. I have not seen this type of bench ever since.

Spider bench.

Very rare to see in a gym.

Larry Scott sold them.
