		Michael Press, M.D., Ph.D., is on the phone with a physician whose patient, a woman with an aggressive case of breast cancer, is hoping to qualify for a clinical trial of a drug that seems to work best in women who have a specific gene mutation.

		Pressing from the pins at chest level can work the start of the bench as well, but it is difficult to recruitment maximal power from the torso, as there is no stretch reflex, and no resulting tension.
		Benching with a cambered bar or a buffalo bar can also work the start of the bench, but once again care must be taken to avoid injury to the shoulders as the acromial process is quite open using these types of bars.
		Pressing behind the neck is often viewed as dangerous, and this is true: if the athlete does not maintain adequate flexibility in the shoulders, strength in the external rotators, and a certain amount of flexibility in the chest.

	Bench Press Form Secrets
