I am going to have to disagree with you on using a little bounce in my bench. Your body is very work specific and will train for how you work it. If you're bouncing the weight off your chest and overriding the stretch reflex mechanism, your body won't know how to compensate when it comes to competition and you have to pause the weight on your chest and wait for the "lift" command. But, I will agree that working the bottom part of the lift will help. I've added closegrip bench press where I don't allow the bar to go above 6 inches off my chest and I can say I can feel the workout much better and expect to see positives results within a month or so.
