2/15 Max Effort Bench Press Future

Today's Max Effort Bench Press exercise was the Future method.. where we attach bands to the top of the power rack while we bench press. This causes the weight to be lighter at the bottom of the press, and heavier at the top..the bands are stretched as the bar is lowered down to the chest. It is called the "Future" method because it is a weight you would be able to lift in the future...
