I've recently been forced to replace heavy barbell benching with heavy hammer strength presses. For whatever reason, I can't do anything remotely heavy on the bench press without agititating my shoulder; however, on the Hammer Strength bench press, I've been able to go real heavy and go up in weight in the process over the last couple of weeks.
1. Why would this be? What does the hammer strength machine do to take away pressure on where my shoulder would normally hurt on the bench press?
2. Can you build a big/strong/powerful chest through hammer strength machines?
