this last speed day i did..the first weight i used was 50% of my raw max..i felt the speed was too slow so i dropped the weight down to 40% and my shoulder blades flew up off the bench a couple inches. i guess i'll go 45%? i'm getting some bands hopefully sometime. i wonder how long they take to get here after an order.
another thing...i got ME bench coming up tomorrow..and i have 185 lbs of plastic/cement weights. lol...what could i do for my ME work?

Jeremys,
If you order over the phone you should get your bands in 5 days or less.

how are you so fast???
i did speed work with 95 lbs bar weight plus a mini band, and came in around 2.5 seconds, and with 105 plus a mini around 3... i dont even think i can do the bar as fast as you do 225 .

Great Job Jay!
WHy don't you try and warm up at the meet with bands or boards?
(an unexperienced meet person talking) with the warm up rooms I've seen, only a few, I think you could do what you wanted

Thanks guys but i am truly obsessed with speed. And to all you that know me, Know this is something i never did. I have used bands every week for awile now. I love them choked down. Now when i need a break i suspend them up. But working with bands is no doubtthe reason i am fast. Plus i train with fast guys. Grimmer never went over 3 sec on his weight, and Jimmie Dean is under 3 all ways. And my 181lber is low 2's. And with using a stop watch we use speed day as a competition!
K1401 I have never seen anyone bring bands to warmu with. But i might bring minis to put behind my back. That i did think of doing for sure. My focus at this meet is speed down and up.

Jay, has Irish or Deceiver or someone got a video of your DE bench somewhere online? I'd really like to see how it looks. Sounds incredibly fast!

I am so slack i havent got it yet. In fact i havent recorded in anyting except the fullpower meet i did in june, and i havent sent that yet!! I need a copy made. I would liek him to put my 562 opener online cause its a 5 sec pause and the 600lbbench. I will tape speed work i guess. BUt what i am doing is using a 1 board. I dont wanna hit my chest with it cause i want it to basically stop for sec but i aint catching it in mid air. The one board someone said was from Bob youngs and thats what they use on speed day. When the bar stops an Inch and 1/2 off yoru chest that board stops it fast! I like it better then without. Believe it or not i am faster with out the board. thing is i am coming down super fast. I think thats where i am picking valuable .10 of a sec.
How do you guys do speed. Hit the chest? Catch it? Or board?

the 1 board for speed day sounds good...as i hate it when the bar hits my chest on the way down..of course i'm probably being a baby..

i switch it up on the catching and hitting the chest. when the weight gets really heavy, it's a little more difficult to catch it. when i say hit the chest it isn't a hard hit. i'm not looking to cave my body in. it sounds like your speed is right on. i love floor presses as well. if it weren't for floors and boards i probably would stop lifting. they just rock!

WOW that's all I have to say. DUDE your speed is fucking awesome. I WISH I could do it that fast with 135(no bands or chains) but stil i'm pretty slow I think i'm afraid when I come down i'm gonna break my sternum like one of my friends did 2 years ago and I witnessed it.

Jay, everything is there for a huge bench. Just work in your shirts and you will kill it. I usually try to catch the bar, though I am gonna try a one board with bands this week. I'm gonna do like Halbert says and use bands for every Dyn day. I am also gonna start using bands for all ME stuff, except when I shirt up.
Lectures are a good place to think. I sat in one the other day and drew up my plans for my reverse hyper. And a couple days before that I wrote down all the ME exercises I could think of. Isn't school great!

Thanks Tapout. Its not far. And i am really hopeing i can dial in these shirts. Thursday it didnt go to plan. My shoulder hurt so bad i couldnt lock out my left arm. BUt i am taking care of that as we speak. Its not the old injury either. Its a muscle pain i developed in Mar of this year. It comes and goes. I think its from excessive band use. Once i take care of that i think the meet will be a success. Been riding my bike 4 times a week and am now up to 15 miles a pop. dropped from 260 to 252.
The ONLY thing that will keep a big number from going up will be the dam shirts!!

true
i've seen you hit big weight when shirts work properly just wish you could hit those weights 1 x at meet that i've seen you hit in the gym---it would really open some eyes

When the moons align and the gods are out big weight could fly! Thes shirts are fuckin with me. I am actually fixinig to get me a closed neck denim. I never had this problem till the back came open. Back to the basics!
