that is the first time i've ever seen anyone bench with a Buffalo Bar, that's the rounded squat bar that the guy was using.

Power is the combination of mass and speed?

in the strict physics sense, sure. but in powerlifting there's grinding strength and explosive strength. you'll have a guy who can work through a lift in 5-10 seconds, or someone like brian siders who gets the lift in a split second or not at all.

strictly speaking, though, work is force * distance, and power is work/time. so we're training to lessen the time.

sounds like this siders fella needs to up the weight or the other guy needs to lower his.

  Don't some powerlifters also put heavy chains on the ends of the bar,so it gets heavier as they go up?

yep. some do both bands and chains with very little bar weight. some do a lot of bar weight and then just a little bit by way of chains or bands. all depends on where your strengths and weaknesses are. also what kind of equipment you use.

Training with bands is a method of variance and used a lot on speed days.  It is a legitimate way of training for strength and the strongest men and women in the world use them extensively. 

In the bench video being referred to Louie Simmons of Westside (www.westside-barbell.com) would call that the "lightened method".

Personally, I could never understand or enjoy training like that, but then again, I know nothing but bodybuilding.

hahaha, ya know how ridiculous you sound with garbage like that.  Find me 1..yes 1 national level or pro bodybuilder that wouldn't say my legs are very very good.  You insult people but aren't even familiar with band training....training 101, my friend and you obviously aren't done with the course.  You guys, the squad are pathetic, ahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahaha

that place looks like a huge gimmick made to have shitty looking guys feel better about themselves.

guy with 250 lbs of reverse tension on bench (why not use 155 lbs on bench instead)?

guy with 7 tons on squats going down 3 inches, then pulling himself up by the rack, guy box squatting whatever, guy doing bench with a bent bar so he can get actual full range of motion by avoiding his gut/tits.

looks retarded.  what's with the round dumbells? are they somehow more hardcore?   ::)

I hope you're kidding.

If not, you're a f**kin idiot.
