Actually I'm not sure if that data will be one hundred percent correct. Just a guideline. All you really need to know is the maximum tension at the top if you want to be that precise and that's easy enough to figure out.

I assume you're talking mini bands wrapped around a given number of times and then choked. Just set up your bench press and empty bar like you would normally have it and eye-ball where the bottom and top is for your bench press. Should be easy enough.

Then set up a dumbell, choke it to desired tension and stand on your digital bw scale holding the end of the band so that it has tension and is about at the height of the bottom of your bench press and then pull it up to where you eyeballed the top to be and recored the ending weight on the scale. Wala..subtract your actuall bw and that should give you a very good estimate...that you double for two bands of course...

Like if I were to use a mini band with my usual setup that would give me only around 26 pounds of tension at the top...not enough, really though.

You'd better ask DH though, cuz I'm no bench press expert

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
