That sounds fishy to me. So if I’m bench pressing and I get stuck half way up, I’m not exerting force? I understand the math aspect, since zero times anything is zero. If my force is zero, what am I exerting?

“I’m not exerting force?”
You are exerting force. But it has become equal to the force of gravity.

If my force is zero, what am I exerting? You have to take gravity into account. You are exerting upward force, which is exactly balanced by the downward force coming from gravity.
