2:00 -3:10  http://www.mobilitywod.com/daily/tuesday-november-10th-2015/

Dynamic Warm Up: 5min

Strength: 15min

Bench Press (9×3 @ 50% + band tension)
3×3 Wide, 3×3 Normal, 3×3 Narrow
Why?
In a traditional bench press, as the bar is pressed away form the Athletes chest it becomes easier to lockout as the Athletes mechanical advantage increases. In layman terms the angles of the joints become easier to overcome for the Athletes. Adding Accommodating resistance to the ‘lockout’ phase of the benchpress gives Athletes additional weight at the top end of the lift, helping them lockout.
How?
Traditional set up + band tension. Make sure to teach proper set up.
