I don't know the sequence he suggested, but static holds are a great training tool. It gives your CNS an opportunity to work with larger weight. It is also very useful in strengthening tendons and connective tissue which will help keep you injury free.
You can also do the same thing for squats. Load up 110%, walk out 6 steps and hold for 10 seconds.

Yeah, if I improved my bench by 35% It would jump up by more than 100lbs. There's no way I'm going to improve my max bench that much in a month.
And that little chart he had on there is ridiculous. According to that chart, my 1 rep max should be 290. I can do 325.

You don't need this to put on 35 percent in a month, or at least close to a month. Just eat plenty and keep up with your program.
As Madcow so eloquently wrote, "Don't fuck with this. Every bodybuilder seems to have Attention Deficit Disorder and an overwhelming desire to customize everything."
I find so much wrong with this...it hurts.
1) I'm taking advice from someone who can THEORETICALLY bench press 220 lbs.
"Please note unless you are power lifting there is no need to do a one rep max. By maxing out you put yourself at great risk for injury. When I was younger I injured my neck doing a max bench press, I still have muscle spasms in my neck to this day."
My maxing out I put myself at a great risk for injury? Umm...NO! By training with bad form and not focusing on my weaknesses or my pre-hab I put myself at a great risk for injury!
And you still have muscle spasms to this day? What the heck have you done to improve this imbalance or injury? There is no way I'd work AROUND this problem for years!
"So, How do you find your max bench press without actually doing it?"
There is only ONE way and that is to put the weight on the bar and see. A lot of theory and not enough action. And if you aren't concerned with 1RM weight...why worry about increasing it?
"When I first learned of this tip my max bench press was 165 lbs. "
Your max bench press was 165 LBS(?) and you thought you had hit a plateau? At a 165 lbs bench press you were already seeking out the SECRETS OF THE PROS and beyond?
"Step 1- Set the bar up so the weight is 10% above your max bench.
Step 2 - Take your initial starting max bench weight and add 20%.
Step 3 - Take your initial starting max bench weight and add 30%.
Step 4 - Take your initial starting max bench weight and add 40%."
So...I'm not going to use maximal weights because I'm not a powerlifter yet I'm going to use 110-140% of my 1RM for these exercises? Using 100% is dangerous but 140% isn't?
"This process will strengthen your tendons which is where a lot of our power and strength comes from."
AGAIN...if I'm not a powerlifter why do I want to primarily increase my strength? And, again, if doing 1RM weights are dangerous on my tendons why aren't 140% maxes dangerous on my tendons? 100% is bad but 140% is good?
