Speed bench helped me quite a bit but left my elbows beat up pretty bad... I've been on a break from it for a month now.

He's not letting himself go trust me. He's training two sometimes three times per day so he's piling the cals on. Other things to keep in mind. He has ulcerative colitis and has a stomach distention from it. He trains, works with many clients, writes for EliteFTS, corresponds to his peeps on facetube and puts out a ton of information. He's also a father and husband. He also has a broken thumb, dislocated clavicle and a bunch of other injuries that I can't even remember. He's pretty beat up right now.

The truth! When I really learned to psych myself up and focus, the weights truly started moving much easier. Mental game at its finest.

I heard a 600 lb RAW bencher from Westside say something about putting 600 lbs of force into every 300 lb rep on speed day, and I've seen guys from there who's back comes off the bench as he's reversing direction from lockout cause he's going so fast. Speed day isn't an easy day if you are doing it right.

Absolutely. That's the point. Push as hard as u can every rep.

Sometimes I wanna let 135 fly out of my hands and see how high I can get it. Lol

You could probably throw 315 higher than I could get 135.

I hope you guys are talking in KG...

No, they are talking lb's for sure. Nobody is doing those kinds of figures in Kilos unless they are top five or ten in the world in one of the very heaviest weight classes.

135 kilos for speed work would mean you are about a 600 - 650 lbs RAW bencher, and 315 kilos would make you stronger than a silverback gorilla I'm reasonably certain.
