I don't think they're available any cheaper than from country power http://www.powerhooks.com/ I bought mine from NY Barbell, but I didn't save any money at the time. >> Stay informed about: unilateral db bench press*

Not > thrilled but I have no spotter. > > Lyle (not that lyle) Someone needs to say that the one-armed bench press is a great exercise. If you want to improve your regular bench, then you need to practice that, but what you're doing is still an excellent movement to practice for general health, fitness, strength, core, and all that sort of thing. And if you're serious about benching and you don't have a spotter, get a rack, bench in the rack, and you don't need a spotter. -S- http://www.kbnj.com >> Stay informed about: unilateral db bench press

What is the alignment of your working arm to your body? How do you protect your elbows during descent (if your are performing floor presses)? Do you find that this exercise gives you a good pec stretch? Do you use a heavy or a light DB when doing one-armed chest presses? Are you lying on the floor or on a bench? I assume you're on a bench. If so, why are you doing one-armed DB chest presses rather than one-armed DB floor presses? >> Stay informed about: unilateral db bench press

I think Steve means "If you want to improve your regular bench, then you need to practice your regular bench,, not "If you want to improve your regular bench, then you need to practice the one-armed bench press". Which is not, in fact, bollocks. Stephen >> Stay informed about: unilateral db bench press
