Speed Bench question

[Ryano]

Fazc, you can still be dynamic and lockout a bench. To me, DE bench is when the reps are done in 1 second or less. It's the explosion/speed thoughout the lift you are looking for. This can be done all the way to full lockout.

So, do it like I do in the second video?

Yes. To be honest, the first time I started to watch the 2nd video I shut it off due to the music. LOL

Sounds like we'd train well together Duff. I do enjoy the bands but they have their own issues.

Mike I think you're onto something, I just need to mull it over in my head a little. Thanks for that.

I'm with Mike a little bit. Watching the videos you could do more to drive your heels down and maintain more leg tightness and get more leg drive. More tension may get your chest higher as well. Can you get your feet further back? Do you have that flexibility? I don't but I have to bench flat footed
