Marooned Mike Said:

Larry Scott who learned quite a lot from VG wrote the same info as Reg Park -- elbows at shoulder-level while bench-pressing from the neck (rather than the low or mid-chest areas) to get good upper-chest development... I tried it... it definitely hits the upper-chest muscles.

Yes, Larry Scott advised using a Smith Machine for this. He also advised having the hands angled on the bar (hence the use of a Smith Machine), in order to keep the elbows BACK and not brought in to the sides.

"It is not an uncommon experience for people to talk and argue a great deal about something without anybody bothering to define precisely what it is."

I would like to see the truth clearly before it is too late.
- Sartre

We must begin by a definition, although definition involves a mental effort and therefore repels.
- Hilaire Belloc
