This video shows Speed Bench against band tension.  This is a popular training method to increase your strength on the bench press.  The objective is to move the bar as fast as possible.  We are using 65% of Josh's max, which is slightly heavy for me.  I pushed it as fast as I could, but optimally, I would have lightened the weight so i could move it even faster.  Also, the band attached to the barbell causes the lockout to be more difficult than with just the bar and weights (straight weight).
