Increase Your Bench Press FAST With Reverse Band Presses

http://www.powerfultrainingsecrets.com - This version of the bench presses uses bands hitched to the top of a rack. As you lower the bar, the bands stretch, taking up some of the tension near the bottom. As you press up, the bands lose some tension, making you take up more of the resistance yourself. This is a GREAT way to overload the bench press to increase your #'s fast.

I never really thought of that before. Wouldnt the bands coming from the bottom basically do the same thing for the top part of the lift? You wouldnt be able to use as much weight like you are using them like this obviously, but it would definitely strengthen that last few inches of the push.

@guitarfreak585 - bands from the bottom are great, too - they're more targeted for explosive training. They serve to decelerate the bar so that you don't get inhibition from the muscles - when using normal free weight, part of your energy is spent slowing the bar down to prevent injury. Band training from below helps lessen the impact of it, allowing you to power right up to the top without that problem.

Actually a common way of overloading...going past your old limits physically and getting your mind past the old number works like magic. Or you can use spotters for power assist.

very true, the mental aspect is a huge part of it as well.
