How much weight for DE bench

[ThePolishHammer]

My BB bench is about 215 right now, and my PL bench was about 205 when i tested it out a while ago. I imagine its (pl bench) has gone up a bit since then. but im not sure by how much.
Your supposed to do 60% of your 1rm for dynamic effort bench days?
I read an article by dave tate saying if you dont see the results you probably errored on the heavier side.

So to make sure i didnt go over, im doing about 105 on my speed bench. So a little more than 50%...
Is this a good idea, or should i try more?

you need to be able to do 3 reps in 3 seconds

Yeah i think its a little bit faster than 3 seconds.
so should i up the weight at any point? or just keep working on speed

Keep going for bar speed. Weight is secondary in this movement.

It's supposed to be 3 reps in 3 seconds or less. I actually use around 30% plus doubled Monster Minis.. My speed was terrible going into westside, so I stuck with a lower percentage to alleviate that. The weight is not that important.. The speed is. Go as low as you have to in order to stay under 3 seconds..
