Reverse Band Press
This exercise closely mimics benching in a shirt. Jump stretch bands are attached to the top of the power-rack. The barbell rests inside the bands. With the green bands, it takes 135 for the bar to touch my chest. This will vary depending on your setup. The bands help you accelerate from the bottom (much like a shirt), and then they reduce tension at the top, thereby overloading the triceps. This really teaches you how to push with a shirt. You can use the various band strengths and grips.
