	2005/04/15, 05:04 PM depends...'negatives' help with antagonistic muscle groups...so if someone happens to have a weak back(because many people don't train their back properly) then it might in fact help...the weight will feel lighter and you'll control it down easier on descent.....when you bench press...however for other people it's a waste of time if they already have a strong back...it depends....
