Hollywood engineering presses are tanks and have added a bar to the turret to address or overcome any flex. Where you see any flex on one is when you full length size a case and that's the best time to use the bar.

Other then that, the presses are so heavy that you don't need the bar while doing smaller calibers. It's when you get up to the bigger stuff that it's recommended. When doing .50 on their senior press you can barely see the turret flex and that's only when you FL size a case. If you're neck sizing, seating primers or projos there's none.
