What has been working for you?

In the spirit of not "cheating" or "half repping" as some would say, I've been bringing it down to my chest. My weight on the bar has gone down slightly, but my overall chest strength has been increasing, as evidenced by my other chest exercises. The only thing I've been very cautious of is resisting the urge to bounce it off my chest on a heavy lift.
