...just something to add to your thoughts on speed work genemachine, I just started the westside versioon of "speed work" but all through college I did upper body plyo's constantly. Clap pushups, depth clap pushups, push ups to boxes, medicine ball catch+ throws, quick hands, you name it....all I know is when I put on a shirt for the first time a couple of weeks ago, even though I wasn't having a good day, the weight was literally accelerating on the way up....there is something to be said for speed/power work. Also from a sport specific view, ther is very few times when I will get to bench press someone off of me, but I hit people as hard and fast as I can almost every down.

Dont know if this is relevant to this thread, but here goes..

Did anyone ever come up with a good system for circa-max on the bench? I know it would be to much for me, but i was just curious if anyone ever got that idea tweaked enough to work.

Later...

I though about trying something along those lines. It seemed that the band tension at that point really messes with the rotators and delts. So, I don't know. Its a good idea though. Maybe a band-chain combo would produce enough accomodating resistance.

The one that I know Bob has used in the past was a 6 week phase..

Week 7 40-45% + 1 Mini
Week 6 40-45% + 1 Mini
Week 5 30% + 2 Mini
Week 4 30% + 2 Mini
Week 3 45-50% + 2 Chains
Week 2 45-50% + 2 Chains
Week 1 MEET

Thats basically what I will be doing going into the IPA meet in Aug.

In case anyone's interested, those are % based on max #s, which correspond to meet projections, for that given week (cybernetic periodization a.k.a. Westside).

All max/near max work is board work (or other partials) because we never max out a full ROM outside of a meet. There is no "bench day" in addition to partials and speed work.

Hannibal-

Will you be cutting back volume or anyting on this or ME day?

Only if my elbows and forearms start to take a beating. When I am using bands for speed bench I won't be using them for any other moves....like band lockouts, or banded board presses. 4 weeks with the bands is about all I can take. It will make you fast though.

so last night he busted the single denim - the first shirt I ever owned.

Now all we have left is a karin's double that is too big
time for some alterations. - and chris ordered his new shirt so it should be here in a week or so.
