Jwood, I found the uber video on bench setup that I was looking for. It explains the bending the bar, elbows slightly in trick that I was so poor at explaining.
Regarding speed benches, I think BWYS is spot on. Bands are great for speed benches. With that said, I also think it's a good idea to train speed benches without bands for a while to get the feel of what you're doing. That's just my opinion.
