Band tensioin 400

Alternative band set up for the bench press

There are three mini bands per side and the dumbbell is placed alongside the rack to allow for a greater bottom stretch of the band. With this set up, each mini is close to 100 pounds at the top. Dave no longer sets the bands up this way as he has the band peg attachments on all his racks and benches.


With the band pegs, he can adjust the tension by moving the pegs further apart. Since most of us do not have these racks and benches, we decided to post the old-school way.
