That's a hell of a workout.
I noticed you use quite a bit of chain weight...........any specific reason for that? I imagine it must get heavy pretty fast on the concentric.

The nature of the lift means you can't unload all the chain even at the bottom of the lift... so you are right on that one.
The goal usually is to keep putting on weight until speed is no longer fast, and the work down to the last set that was fast and keeping it at that weight. Yesterday one of my training partners felt like one upping me on everything so it became a competition between us.
I actually lost on every single lift... it was quite embarassing.
As far as why chain instead of more bar weight... it's because I fail 2-3 inches from the top every single time. The more progressive tension I can get, the better (my logic anyways).

Just posting here so that I at least have something to look at when I'm looking back and wondering how my strength levels are progressing.
Nothing fancy here... just a bench workout (first one after my meet). I have taken a while off because of school and the market. My body doesn't like it and I don't either, so I will be making time to workout more next week.
Bench(raw): 225 x 5, 255 x 5, 255 x 5, 275 x 5, 275 x 5, 255 x 5
Bench Rows: 205 x 8, 205 x 8
Done.

Reverse bands in a rack are fun too for that problem.

We have been doing this as well last 2-3 months. Initially, I laughed at everything we now do. But... until I am the strongest in the group, no one will let me call any shots.
I don't hate these new exercises, but sometimes I would like to just bench raw you know? What a concept.
