The Dark Knight Rises Banes Strength?

[Adamantium]

I was just watching TDKR where Bane and Batman are fighting in the 3rd act and I never noticed before how fast Bane was throwing punches. Granted he was swinging with some serious adrenaline after Batman disconnected his mask so that could've had a lot to do with the quickness of jabs. I'm not entirely knowledgeable on Banes true strength. But what is behind his strength? I've never got a true definition of what the mask is for and does it play a part in his strength?

Work out...get plenty of rest...you know, just eat your green vegetables!

He listened to Hulk Hogan.

He never had peace, so it never cost him his strength.

Main reason would be working out hard. The mask kept his pain under control - so if it becomes broken, he begins to hurt. Thus lashing out like a hit of venom in the comics.
