Dead press and floor press, high rep?

[RasPlasch]

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"

 

[RasPlasch]

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?

 

[Ben dur]

i dont see why its such a favorite of yours but

i guess its a form of training

 

[RasPlasch]

Its not.... I have performed the exercise once in my life.

I don't see why you need to assume things.

 

[Ben dur]

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.
