If used in a proper training protocol it could help be a part of you making progress on the bench. But could hardly flat out say buy this product and it will increase your bench.

How about all of the above? I rotate reverse band presses and board presses, wouldn't mind a slingshot and foam pad to put in the mix. Honestly though I think reverse band is the best of those...

Reading through this thread, I notice a lot of people are yelling at others telling them to read the book, when they are the ones misinterpreting based on an earlier chapter, when the later chapters...

I dropped a similar size weight on my jaw but it was reverse banded. luckily there was someone to heave it off, my spotter was part of the problem why it ended up on my chin. Learning this lesson I...

I hope it isn't all hype. I'm going to read the book soon, and then see about when I can start it. I've heard enough to give it a shot. The concept makes sense to me and fits with a lot of my own...

I don't get the most sleep but last year had my first kid, and combined with that I was getting up at 3 am for work for more than half of last year. You bet it hurt me, I lost strength for sure. ...

could be, i probably lost 15-20 lbs of muscle during the two years off, poor diet, no training etc.

haha.

Well just don't forget going to failure just sets you up mentally for failure.

From someone who has trained off and on with weights for over a decade, I know you lose strength and muscle mass. Like what was said, even two months off could set you back almost a year. I took two...

Something doesn't look fluid about it. You are locking your knees then back extending the top, if you can help it, I would make the two portions one movement, not lock your knees out so fast, I...

I was hit by another motorcycle in the ribs and never went to the doc, had pain bad in the ribs for 6 months and lingering to a year. I have found heavier squats can aggravate it if i over do it, or...
