When discussed at a training there have been some uncertainties about the perfect bent press and the difference between bent press and side press. As confirmed by Dr. Cheng, this is bent press (performed by Jason C. Brown, RKC, link recommended by Doc Cheng)
As for the side press, the starting position is the same (tilted torso) but you have to work much more from the arm, pushing the bell away actively.
First I was not too keen on either of them, irrespective of whatever they were called but I learnt to respect them. I hold these exercises for good checkpoints: bent press for stability and side press for strength. And do not forget tension and right breathing behind the shield when trying them!
