Good Enough Never Is

Actually, to get the most out of each rep, you should pause at the bottom so that it takes maximum exertion to press it back up. I never stop before it touches my chest.

I usually bench press touch and go style. I just make sure not to bounce it. I do, however, cycle in bottoms up bench presses into my routine if my starting strength needs a boost.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

You always have to touch your chest, and to not bounce you'll obviously have to come to a pause at the bottom position, so his advice wasn't just terrible. Still, the fact that told you this in the middle of your set would not only ruin that set I was doing for me but bother me throughout.
