Sounds like you got meme'd on. In what way is restricting movement on bench beneficial?
>>36990808
its so that they know how far to arch so they can move the weight as little as possible and tell people they can bench 315

If you benched enough you'd know.

Sort of. I've also seen a coach teach it as part of a method to increase your bench. Every other day of the week you work on a different ROM for bench

No what I mean is one day they'll do close grip. One day wide grip. One day they'll do reps off the chest. The next day theyll do reps halfway down. Helps to build up and isolate muscle groups that are lagging behind.
