Another coach and I were talking during the football period today while the kids were lifting and he had a theory that I thought I would throw out there and see what the thoughts of people more knowledgeable than us were. His idea was if a kid was benching (please don't turn this into a baseball players shouldn't bench discussion!!), if you nudged one end of the bar to get him off balance a little, that the little muscles around the shoulder and chest would have to kick in to help re stabilize the bar. Thoughts?
