Today, I tried out a gym which had new Bench/Chest Press type machines [Hammer Strength & Life Fitness]. The older Chest Press machine at my YMCA can be adjusted to provide a range of motion similar to a free weight bench press, but these new machines could only provide a smaller range of motion. I noticed I could lift more weight on these newer machines. Are there any advantages to using a lesser range of motion on bench press type exercises and other lifts? What are the disadvantages?
