From the makers of the Never Enough! Squat and Deadlift DVD.This time Mark Bell, who writes as "JackAss" for elitefts.com, takes a humorous and informative look at his team's bench press training.

Formed in 2005, members of Sacramento-based Team Super Training represent a variety of weight classes, ages and experience levels. The DVD is 96 minutes long and was shot in widescreen by Jim McDonald (credited in the documentaries Power Unlimited and Bigger Stronger Faster* ) and Bell.
