Folgende Frage tauchte in einem anderen Forum auf:

Ist die beschriebene Technik für jeden Anwender geeignet?
-> Egal welches Alter, Trainingserfahrung, Verletzungshistorie, Ziele, Umfeld?
Alter: Es gibt ein extra Kapitel, nach dem man auch schon in jungem Alter anfangen kann zu trainieren. Bzgl. fortgeschrittenerem Alter hab ich nix gefunden.
Trainingserfahrung: Richtet sich wohl an absolute Anfänger (=noch nie ne Hantel in der Hand), als auch an Fortgeschrittene
Verletzungshistorie: Hab nix dazu gefunden
Umfeld: Hab nix dazu gefunden

Ziele:
Hier erstmal ein Zitat, aus dem Bankdrückkapitel (bzgl. Range of Motion), das wohl aber die Absicht des Buchs gut widerspiegelt:

There is a school of thought that justifies the use of the kess than full range of motion buy claiming that the pecs stop contributing to the movement when the humerus reaches a 90° angle with the forearm.[...] We want them to work lots of muscles through a long range of motion. We like it when some muscles are called into function as other msucles drop out of function. This is because we are training atheletes, not models or bodybuilders. We are concerned with improving the functional motion around a joint.

Und zur Press:
For an exercise to be usefull as a conditioning tool for a sport, it must utilize the same muscles and the same type of neurological activation pattern as that sport. [...] A sport such as football requires the use of all the muscles in the body [...]
As a generel rule, the more of the body involved in an exercise, the better the exercise. The press produces strength in the trunk muscles [..] as well as the shoulders and arms. It trains the whole body to balance while standing with a heavy weight in the hands. [...] And it produces force in a more useful direction than the bench press. [...] Doing both [Anm.: Bankdrücken und Press] enanble the strength from the bench press to be applied in a more useful way for sports.
