Variety is the spice of life.
I wouldn't mind it for a change of pace.
variety is fine, but this has nothing to do with the movement patterns of a bench press, and how many local gyms have chain sets with attachable handles?
Who said anything about the bench press? Bodybuilding forum, 'big + huge' in the title of the article.
Stronger triceps will carry over to the bench anyway.
I don't see what the availability of the equipment has to do with it either. It's another idea for the toolbox, or if you're gym is well equipped for this kind of thing something you can try out.
Then why not use exercises that use more muscle? Tate isnt doing floor presses and close grips because he underwent major shoulder reconstruction last year, which is why he's looking for ways to work around them.
Strong triceps will not carry over to a raw bench unless the lifter has lockout problems (wendlers written substantially about how very few lifters do).
well, how many gyms have a set of chains and hand attachments? my guess is very few, making this article not relevant to a lot of people.
Because it's about increasing the size/strength of the triceps?
If you take lifter A with a bench of X and add mass/strength to his triceps I would bet my left nut his bench will go up. Might not be by a lot, but improvement is improvement.
How many people work out at home? Bring stuff to the gym? My (cheap, equipment wise) uni gym has detachable handles for every cable station (edit- but no chains, that I know of).
The fact that it is relevant to *some* people means it needs no further justification. If it's not relevant to you, fine.

It wouldnt go up or very much at all if he was raw, because his problem area would be getting the bar off his chest.
If you took twins (A & B) with the same bench, had A doing lots of tricep work and B doing dumbell presses, military presses and heavy rows in a raw bench contest B would probably win.
So far I only know of one guy in australia who puts together chain sets, and he'll charge like a wounded bull.
No hate man
For overall upper body development the bench press is not a good choice.
He said that bench press sucks for overall upper body development.
Sorry couldn't help myself. I agree with him though there are other exercises I would have people do before benching. Unless they were a powerlifter.
