Talk:Bent press

Discussion

This article has been marked for some time but the person did not make any statements why.

Firstly: no direct addressing of the reader! This is an encyclopedia, not a training guide. The topic is well worth to be featured in such a guide - but the wikipedia article should only summarize it, link to it, and depict the state of the discussion of the topic.

The latter is my second criticism: it's important to describe how this exercise became "no longer popular" and what exactly are the risks involved which the last paragraph hints at. (Subjective thoughts coming to my layman's mind: is it generally as unergonomical as it looks, or am I spoiled by the "clean" movements rehabilitation machines? Was it pushed aside by the Nautilus machines? What risks and what benefits does it have compared to the exercises which replaced, probably machine-supported ones?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.50.225.38 (talk • contribs) 2007-08-09

Hepburn press?

Is this the same as the Hepburn press? Sounds like it, a video as requested would help. See Doug Hepburn.Skookum1 (talk) 06:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

What's the the Hepburn press? Doug Hepburn doesn't mention it. ··gracefool☺ 21:44, 13 August 2014 (UTC)]]

I believe I may have commented on Talk:Doug Hepburn about it, I learned the term from a member of the SFU football (wrestling?) team who did it regularly; it may be the same as the bent press, sounds like it might be; the requested video might establish whether it is; I've definitely heard it since, maybe it's just a term used in Canada for the same thing; Doug was definitely known for it, not sure of his records on it. I know some notable lifters in Canada in FB, I'll ask them; there should be a cite for it somewhere.Skookum1 (talk) 00:51, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
