Reverse Bands are AWESOME!

[Billymaston]

Bench gorilla indeed!!! Very impressive...

[benchpressgorilla]

Thank You SIR!

How is the effect different from having the bands in normal position? Either way you have an increased amount of weight at lockout. Just curious is all.

The idea is similiar, but reverse bands are almost exactly like using a bench shirt.

So it helps prepare you to lift in a meet and lets the lifter know what weight they would be capable of making.

[jcoe1182]

What is the advantages to using the bands like this?

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks for the question.

It is the closest you can get to training in a bench shirt without wearing one.

It mimics lifting in a bench press shirt!

[burn2live]

VERY clever!!! I am impressed. Nice work man. I will be recommending this idea to my friends who lift equipped. Great video. Keep training hard!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks Kaz

I have done boards as well, but like reverse bands much better.

The joint pressure is so much less than board pressing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[TOPHOGTUCK]

Buffman you shouldn't do the band more than 3weeks at a time it put's to much of a shock on the nerves system.I love the band to nice work Buffman.

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks Tuck

Reverse bands take pressure off the lift allowing you to lift heavier weights.

Band pressing uses the bands to apply more resistance which is what you are refering to.

You should try reverse bands you could pull over 880 lbs using them!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

[HHH396]

Awesome,how much weight does that take off the bottom of the lift?And where did u get those bands?

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks HHH

I train raw so it feels like the bands take close to 100 lbs off the bottom, but the weight is all there at the top!

I bought them at

liftinglarge . com

They are the Woody bands.

Great quality and a better price than the competitors.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

[cheesedips]

what is the benefit of reverse band? it makes it lighter so why use it??

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks for the question cheesedips.

The reverse band bench presses allow you to handle more weight and almost exactly mimic liftng in a Bench Shirt.

I need to begin handling more weight to raise my equipped bench press to have a shot at the IPF World Bench Press Championships.

I hope this answers your question.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

[AlexanderLarsen]

Good going!

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks Alexander

Merry Christmas!!!!!

[irondawg50]

Lots of intensity. Good taste of a bench shirt feel. One problem, wheres the pig?

[benchpressgorilla]

Thanks irondawg50

I appreciate the comment.

You are correct it mimics the bench shirt very well.

The PIG will return, he's still recovering from injuries sustainED in the 153 x 18 Powersports Curl on 12-3-07 video.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
