Which will be more beneficial. 1. Slowly bringing the bench down to your body and pressing out. or 2. Letting it down to ur body slowly then powering it out really quickly. cheers which will induce better muscle building

Do this with heavy weights low reps.

Lift heavy weights for low reps, or light weight as fast as you can for low reps and high sets. check out elitefts.com and westside-barbell.com for this type of training. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve

Your nervious system is what tells you...this is "heavy" this is "light" SO by doing light weight as fast as possible for 2 3 reps.......that hardwiring will make you muscle contract with the same speed on heavy lifts......even though its not moving that fast. -------------- My drinking squad, has a cheerleading problem!!

To be more explosive, train explosively. Lower the bar with control and explode up, just don't slam your elbows out at the top of the move. Also - add in some plyometrics for building power. Plyometric push-ups would be a good addition to your ouritne if youa re trying to build explosive power in your chest. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
