| Another look at a version of the Half Moon Bench used for chest and ribcage development. These used to be quite common in gyms in the old days but are rarely found now. These benches work best when used in combination with leavy leg work and light dumbbell pullovers or flys. That's 1953 AAU Mr. America Bill Pearl demonstrating. Also note the Iron Boots on the wall, as well as the Stall Bars on the right. |  The Half Moon Bench |
