i have read (here actually: www.swimdcac.org/.../article5.html) that the bench press does more harm than good for swimmers. what is everyone else's opinion (and experience)??

right. a bench press only isolates the chest and shoulders, while a push up uses core muscles to support yourself. i suppose a bench press with light weights would be ok, but would it be better to just do push ups for the core streangth trainning? what does everyone else think?
