You lay on the bench with the standard 45lb olympic bar, no weight on it. Go down fairly slowly, but steady. And when you go up for every rep, your spotter has his hands on the bar pressing down. Not pressing with all his weight so that its a real bad struggle to get it up, but just adding some pressure so that around reps 8-12 it really really really starts to burn. Then, say you get it up easy but have problems with the end of the rep (the part where the tris kick in), your spotter will adjust by pressing hard from the start and then easing up at the end, allowing you to always be using a steady pushing motion. I don't know how or why, but nothing burns like this, and nothing gives me gains on my chest like this...
