An alternative would be doing bench press (or any exercise) with very light weight for one set of some chosen number of high reps. That can be done daily because there is minimal muscle tearing. This also makes your connective tissue get stronger, much like he described in the OP, but without you gaining muscle faster than your connective tissue can support it, which could cause injuries.
Exercise should be looked at as a marathon, not a sprint
