Benchpressing with bands

A new Cycle and it looks like I am going to be able to get in some good training plus my injury seems to be dissipating and is not stopping me from doing certain things. I have not been able to feel anything for the last few weeks so am starting to push a little harder. And yes the band tension is just for the bands.

So this is how my benching went on the 28th of October

Set 1
230kg + 45kg of Band Tension
Pretty happy with this set which is probably the best of the day. Wasn't quite sure whether I was going to get 2 reps. 1 !/2" Board and the bands give 45kg of tension at the top and 14kg at the bottom. reasonably happy with the speed off the board but could be a little quicker.

Set 2
230kg + 45kg of Band Tension Set 2
Pretty happy with this set which is probably the best of the day. Wasn't quite sure whether I was going to get 2 reps. 1 !/2" Board and the bands give 45kg of tension at the top and 14kg at the bottom. reasonably happy with the speed off the board but could be a little quicker.

Set 3
230kg + 45kg Band Tension
230kg on the Bar and I have weigh the bands and they give 45kg of tension @ the top and 14kg @ the bottom. Miss time the second more than anything Felt pretty good doing all the sets and I notice I am getting a good tuck on the way down. By the way the board is 1 1/2". All these reps are PB's to the board. Had a lot more weight on the bar but only to a 2" board.
