Dead press and floor press, high rep?

Is it a good idea to perform 6-10 rep dead presses or floor presses?
I usually only see people performing those exercises for their max.
Would it be productive to perform those with 6-10 reps?

more than one rep of dead press would just be
"bench press"

Not really.
Lift the weight up. drop it back down. wait a second or two. Press weight back up. No momentum

Is dead pressing the same as bench pressing without the ROM going as low?

i dont see why its such a favorite of yours but
i guess its a form of training
Posted by: RasPlasch
Its not.... I have performed the exercise once in my life.
I don't see why you need to assume things.

youve just been mentioning it alot
i dont see much of a reason to use it over performing reps of bench press
bench press you get
eccentric
isometric
concentric
flexations in each rep
with a dead press you are only getting the concentric and maybe some eccentric brake
i dont think it would be very benifecial as a repatative exercise.
just my opinion

just do a regular bench press with a 1 or 2 second pause at the chest if that's the effect you want, although, unless you are practicing for a powerlifting meet, there really is no need to do anything other than a touch and go bench press....no bouncing, just a nice controlled motion.
On a side note, I have found those pressing exercises that start from a dead stop seem to injure my pec tendons, whereas a regular ROM bench press does not. just something to think about.
