Press Ups, slow or fast?
i have been trying to figure out for some time now if press ups prove more effective if done slowly or fast.
How do many press ups should i be doing? At what speed? Help much appreciated! |

Are we talking about push-ups here? I that case, they really are only used by BB'er to warm up or get pumped for competitions etc. Bench presses involves a simular movement.
I hope I haven't misunderstood you totally and made a fool of myself  |

In the UK push ups are called press ups.
The reason i asked is because my weights bench is broken and i have ordered a new one that won't be here for another three weeks. So i wanted to do a similar sort of exercise. |

There are two options:
1) press up wish tremendous force...this will be an explosive movement to improve power OR 2) in a bodubuilding sense..press up slowly but forcefully while concentrating on feeling the squeeze in your chest Answer...depends on your training goal...if power then press forcefully...if bodybuilding...slow and controlled with peak contraction Cheers...Fit Frek |

You should EXPLODE on the way up and go down slowly, ALWAYS!

I try to push myself as far off of the ground as possible on the way up, and then lower myself with a count of about four. I only do six reps. Not for any real reason, except to maybe avoid fatigue. I've been mixing them into a circuit style warmup preworkout.
