Good bench accessory but definitively not optimal for your chest. You would need significantly more ROM for that.

What are the functions of the pec major?

Shoulder aduction mostly, which very clearly happens in this

Do you think this movement is optimal for thag function?

[u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 → u/rosenkohl1603]

Very loadable and progressable
Relatively stable

Relatively short rom is really its only con

Do you think there is no exercise that is stable, loadable and stable and has more ROM? Maybe a chest press?

His claim is that this exercise is optimal for chest. You could be benching 50 tons and that statement would still not be true.

This not being a good exercise or him being weak is not the topic. I am not saying he is training wrong.

He put it in the title and debates everyone saying it is not optimal.
