I just realized that people should know the "techniuque" to putting down the bells after a heavy dumbell bench press because there does come a time when they are so heavy that you can hurt yourself putting them down.

A lot of people throw them down because they are not in a position to put them down slowly without hurting themselves. Try to lower a 90 pound bell slowly to the side of the bench and you could get a shoulder ouchie.

What you have to do is the reverse of the setup process. But it IS harder to do that then to setup properly in the first place.

Without someone to hand off the dumbells to I don't know of a better alternative, though. Except for using power hooks.

And if you are doing banded dumbell presses you've got a problem there as well.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
