Bands are 'FUN' :)

[b fold the truth]

Adding bands to exercises is a good way to change every exercise...and keep thinkgs exciting...lol.

brian747478' and I trained on Thanksgiving evening together and we had so much fun. Miss the old days...

We both set PR's of sorts on the bench after doing speed bench.

Here is the only clip that I got and you can see how the bands basically can control me if I'm not careful...

135 + 2 doubled light bands x 3

It was exciting...lol.

No idea how much it was on the lockout with the band tension...but I'm assuming in the upper 4's probably. It was 'exciting' to say the least and it has kept the bench press fun for me over the past few weeks.

Enjoy...

Bands are pretty sweet. Back when I benched a few months ago, I did some speed benches with the medium bands.

When I tried benching without bands... I literally had to press for about 2-3 inches... then it felt like someone was pulling the weight up for me.

Weird... but fun

I've been doing incline benches with bands lately myself. I prefer them to standard speed benches, the bands really train you to push hard at the bottom and accelerate all the way up. I guess it's easy to burn out on them, though.

Although the flannel shirt is quite snazzy, I must admit.
