Hey Guys (and possible gals),
I was noticing something at the gym last night that kind of intrigued me. I was watching a guy do a dumbbell bench press alternating the weights, left then right and so on. I was wondering if this was more beneficial than doing it regular style (both weights at the same time) It seems to me your arms would fatigue faster because you would have to hold the weights longer but it would so require you to use your core more because you have to balance.
On that note, I have also seen a guy do one weight, one side at a time while doing a chest press. The guy I saw do it had a rockin body and he would use the other hand to balance himself on his chest. He would do one set on one side and alternate to the other.
Do you think any of these really have a point or is it just a waste of time?
