Banded Bench Benefits: - Work Speed Of The Chest - Teaches tension at the bottom (on the chest) - Improves stopping the bar on the chest (great for competition style bench with pause) - Teaches patience at the lockout - Somewhat easier on the joints where you don't use heavy loads This is not a beginner exercise and is much harder than it looks. | Women Who Lift Weights | Facebook
