Well, your a fool if you let it bounce instead of controlling it, but buy all means carry on if you don't mind being a cripple in your senior years, it's your gamble.
The idea of exercise is to reduce the amount of injury when participating in a chosen sport.
I went to the rugby last Friday, the captain injured himself in the gym, taking risks, if I was the coach I would have sacked that useless bag of hair strength coach they have there.
I think it's different. The bench press and the squat start from the top and are lowered first, while the deadlift starts from the bottom and is lifted before it is lowered.
If bouncing the deadlift is, as people say, bad (because it makes it easier), what about bouncing at the bottom of the overhead press? The press starts from the bottom and is lifted before it is lowered just like the deadlift. However, I know Rippetoe recommends bouncing from the bottom of the press and taking breaths at the top. I currently press that way.
So what do ye say to that? Should the press be bounced and if so, why is it different to the deadlift? I guess bouncing off the floor is different to bouncing off the strech reflex, but yeah.
