Default Swiss ball shoulder and chest press
Does nothing extra compared to a stable bench!

Well that's the finding from an article Brad McGregor just sent me.

Depends if you have balance or stability problems, you most likely don't and we all shouldn't.

If you have balance problems lying on you back on a flat bench just give up now.

Why would you want to put some poor old bastard on a swiss ball?

How'd he break his wrists? I'd be more worried about his back/neck landing on the ground...
