Benching while Bridging

[BeastoftheEast]

I was thinking about doing weighted back bridges dor neck strength, using either a barbell or DB's. My friend says that it would be a good idea to bench while bridging, and
I also saw this exercise in a book. He says it will help to push guys off when your on the bottom.
Now personally this doesn't make sense to me. Say I can only bridge with a 60 pound barbell on me, then benching 60 pounds while I'm bridging wouldn't be much of a workout. Then again if I were to explosively bridge up while benching that may be different, although that seems a little dangerous to me. What to do you guys think? Should I just do weighted bridges or throw some bench in?

Sounds like trouble to me, but eh, it's your neck.

Bridging with weights is for like advanced athletes.
If you can do a flip without arms many times that you should consider it.

I see where you're going with it, but it just seems like you'd be much better served simply getting a training partner to get on top of you and bridging them repeatedly. If you wanted to make it a strength exercise more than endurance (as bridge drills usually are), I suppose you could just get a very large training partner.

Risk outweighs the reward by far
