Today's training called for speed bench as well as lots of heavy back work. As mentioned before, I'll be doing some light back work on lower body days and heavy back work on upper body days. I haven't done speed bench in quite a while so naturally, I ended up going too heavy. After posting my video to social media, teammate Casey Williams shot me a text and told me to drop the bar weight because it was moving wayy too slow. He gave me some pointers on how to execute the speed bench. Weight doesn't matter. Absolutely crushing the speed is what will make you stronger and give you greater force output. So next week, I will drop the weight and make sure to make them faster. I also benched against doubled elitefts mini bands.
