Three-quarter movements for chest

[ithunk]

I was curious to see what you guys think of doing benchpress three-quarters of the way up, "three-quarters" method. I was reading Arnold's book and he says that this method provides mass and strength and gives you a hard dense look. What are your guys' experiences with it? What you think?

yes it does build mass drugs or no drugs

I do 3/4 but never on a barbell movement. Only with dumbells because that's what db's are for? That's what I've always been taught. I agree about the compound movement. If you want some size do heavy negatives with barbells at the end of each of your barbell routines. They worked for me and it exagerates the muscle fiber on the way down since that direction of movement retains strength longer after depletion of the press movement.
