push press might help touch and go bench more. for powerlifting purposes both are beneficial but push press I would say has better carry over to powerlifting style bench press touch and go.

I don't deserve an opinion but I think the greater weight wins. You could do more weight with the push press so I figure there would be greater carry over to a big bench.

How many people improved on the big lifts because of strict form and baby weights?

I agree when I was doing strict press I always stalled but when I made the switch to push press it felt way more natural and progression was a lot easier

Inb4 Olympic lifters - yeah they push press 1-1.5 plate more than their strict press that isn’t you. they also strict press for shoulder gains.
I squat 3 days a week so would that throw off push press

Also more weight overhead = more cns fatigue = slower progress.
Yeah actually I might change my mind. I knew someone who did Olympic lifting for a couple of years and his bench press was absolutely abysmal, completely took me by surprise.

PP brings a bunch of technique into it cutting out the strength aspect of the lift.
