You can grind a little but you have to make it to the top in position to grind. Gotta generate speed at the bottom because the middle portion is the most disadvantaged position. Round back deadlifts are also kind of the same thing. In reality you can grind with a close grip bench but you have to get it past the sticking point. A 101% weight will fly off the chest but die instantly at the sticking point and I'll miss the lift and it looks like I can't grind at all. A 98-100% weight will fly off the chest but be very slow in the upper third, but I know if I can get it there I will almost never miss at the top (this is the mechanically easiest leverage of the lift). You can grind but you are really only grinding the last few inches.
