I am with Rip- if he is experiencing nerve pain constantly- I would consider finding a good surgeon. If the nerve is impinged when it is unloaded...it is pretty impinged...and hell to live with I am sure. Loading the nerve more with training stress may not resolve it very quickly.
In David's case- the press is obviously helping to resolve his issues- and bench pain is only temporary. If my arms were burning all the time- I would look to a surgical intervention.
