My mini-band set up for dynamic bench day today.

The safety pins are about 1-1.5" off of my chest and the bands were decently tight on the bar then. Any idea what kind of weight difference I am looking at?

Was also going to start to use my bands with my overhead log clean and press. Any idea what kind of difference in weight it would make?

Thanks

damn, you use that much weight for D day?

That is the correct way to set up the bands. You get about 40lbs of tension that way.

What is it that's anchoring the bands in that picture? The bottom of the rack, or that brick-type thing?

I did 8 sets of 3 reps with 225lbs and the bands like that. Then I did 275 and 315 for singles.

I set the bands up under some machined weights. A friend of mine gave them to me just in case I could use them for my strongman training. The weight 110lbs each.

I get 40lbs of tension each...or total?

Use a 40 lb weight to anchor instead of a 110lb weight and see how heavy it feels if you try to pick it up, that would be a good way to accurately estimate the tension.

Hey guys. Am new to this board usually am on the anabolics one. Saw the bands last year in Denver at the western bench comp for the first time. Anyway can't remember where to get them from if any of you know the info would be greatly appreciated.
