This variation is that has been becoming more popular, it was introduced to me two years ago and I do not recall who I saw do it first. Regardless, it is one of the hardest pressing variations for me outside if incline press. I lack in my ability for triceps to lock out at the top and this bar, for me, forces me to be on point in that area. as you can see on my second rep during max effort and last rep of negatives I am slow moving and fighting to get that lockout. Cambered bar when implemented for benching also keeps you accountable for your Lat. activation through the entire eccentric and the initial push of your concentric (off your chest). The quicker you try and change direction with this bar the harder of a wobble you are going to get. Vincent Dizenzo at this past LTTX was very adamant about pulling your chest into the bar at the bottom of your bench and not just bouncing it off, "I promise you, you will be stronger if you wait to touch it before you start pressing" (2:50) - Vincent
