This one is a winner for many reasons:
It is a great lockout builder for the bench press.
It is great for those who have shoulder problems because of the limited range of motion and full shoulder stability (the floor is wider than a bench).
It is great for developing starting strength because of the pause and release at the bottom. You go from a static to dynamic contraction.
It is a great chest builder because most the work is done in the pec building zone of the dumbbell press.
