Why does the bench press % stay the same on DE day stay the same whilst the squat/deadlift are waved? Dave Tate said that the bench stayed the same percentage on DE days in his seminar dvd. I have never understood why.

because on DE you use bands and chains which help you to build speed

I'm not quite sure I get what you mean. Even with bands and chains the weights are waved in the squat and deadlifts but stay the same on the bench.

If found that I can take higher percentages on my squats and still maintain my speed, but with bench it's not the same for me. On bench I don't really go any higher than 50% of my raw 1RM for speed work, but on squats I will do my speed work with only briefs on and I will go up to 60% of my fully equipped 1RM.

That cleared it up for me. Thanks. Are squatting briefs really necessary on DE squat day. My hips seem to be hurting more and more everytime I do them. How exactly do squatting briefs work in terms of stopping your hips from getting so beat up?

I don't think wearing briefs are necessary for your DE day
The briefs help to keep your hips tight and warm. I always use my briefs on DE squat workouts to help protect my hips, I used to hold off putting my briefs on for a while in my workouts but lately I have been putting them on early in my workout and I havn't really had any pain in my hips sine I've started doing that.High Rep is for pussies- SisterSteel

would there be any way that the DE squat and DE bench sessions could be combined to make a DE whole body workout, ie speed squats, speed bench and some light assistance work.
i really struggle getting to the gym 4 times a week and but really like the westside program.
i am hoping to get ready for a novices powerlifting comp in june. would there be a better program for a beginner?

I use DE(sort-of) and ME days, and I only train 3 times a week. I'm on a 10-day cycle as apposed to the standard 7-day. I don't think this is a bad program for a novice, though for a novice I probably wouldn't suggest some of the more advanced exercises or using bands or chains.High Rep is for pussies- SisterSteel

You would not want to combine the two days into one DE day. One will effect the other.
Using bands and chains is a cornerstone of helping a lifter develop speed. They just need to be used correctly for the program to work properly. Most do it wrong
