When speed pressing, do you have a slow negative and fast positive or fast on both?

BHSAthlete80 · 11-12-2005, 04:42 PM

For doing speed presses, do I bring it down+up fast as possible or bring it down very slowly then explode it up fast as possible?

K, I''ll throw it in the air and see how that goes. And for speed squats, what do you do with that?

Here comes another injury.

Fast positive rep, medium pace when you return the bar to it's starting position.

throwing the bar in the air seems like the worst idea humanly fathamable...i can only picture some of the idiots in my gym doing that.....oh good lord.....

I don't understand how it's that bad. I mean, I doubt he meant he throws it 5 feet in the air. I was thinking 2-4 inches from his hand and catches it .

**bigDman** · 11-13-2005, 02:31 AM

and yea bhs and plus if your really worried do speed bench on a symth machine so its safer to throw it

**Peaked_18** · 11-13-2005, 02:35 AM

Never throw the bar above you, that is stupid at most.

Even if it goes an inch high, it will come down as a little more weight and sometimes you will catch it. And if it is over your head, then you got one cracked skull my friend.

Why in gods name would you do speed bench in a smith??

BHSAthlete80 · 11-13-2005, 02:36 AM

He meant only if your going to throw it do it in a smith machine.

**bigDman** · 11-13-2005, 02:53 AM

As long as it's only for the stuff in the article, risk injury, I've seen it happen.
