Then there's this article I found this morning on overhead pressing.

Top Five Reasons Overhead Pressing Sucks | DeanSomerset.com
Bench is the ultimate draw for the lazy athlete. They can lay down, have someone hand them a bar, and if it's too heavy they can bounce and have their friends curl and row it up for them.
