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)??

I was told by my last physical therapist that bench presses are not good for the shoulder because they force too much load through the front of the shoulder. He said that chest flys are the way to go.
