Speed Bench Variations

For example, Floor Press on dynamic day and also incline and decline press for speed work. And also speed bench off power rack pins. Is this something recent? Check out for yourself in the article section of the westside barbell site.

I have used the speed bench off power rack pins because that helps with explosive strength, without utilizing the stretch-reflex. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve

My personal favorite variation is off the power racks, because I like the feel that I get when the stretch-reflex is taken out. It feels different when you have to get the bar moving from a dead stop. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve
