SPEED BENCH Done Right! (Bench Press with Acceleration!)

[@Juznik1389]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, 30-40% of my 1RM. No damn wonder..... I have been trying to do speed presses with 60% of my 1RM and wondered why the hell my form suffered so badly. Thanks for this video! And as you say, my shoulders hurt from it

Best description of speed bench on the internet

[@zacharylowery4866]

I did speed work for the first time today, even with a mild head cold I got up off the bench and just felt weirdly refreshed the entire time. I felt like I was putting in good work while not destroying myself.

[@anagramconfirmed1717]

Same. I'm a 4 plate bencher at 38yo, all natural. I did "speed bench" banded toward the end of last week and i truly believe it's been the missing link. Keep me posted here as to how ur work is going.

Man I have been doing 70% for DE for squat and bench focusing on moving the weight as fast as I could. Conjugate is new to me and this could be the change I need to make my pressing get better. I also have a training partner that is having elbow issues. I will have to share this video with him.

[@dorian4559]

Hey matt, I'm an older lifter who just started using your system. I love it although those 4x25 warm ups take a toll on how much I can lift at the moment I'm sure they will pay off in the long run! Also, a closer super tight grip on my bench takes away shoulder pain! Thanks for these excellent videos and I highly recommend your digital course.

ok, so that's how this excercise called. I've been often doing it, but thought it was wrong. the only difference is that my press speed is a quite lower in order to make the workload more "fixed" or so.

I've been told to use 60-70% if not using bands or chains for my speed work? I do a 2 day variant of conjugate due to the large amount of time and energy my BJJ / Wrestling sessions take up. I do Day 1 - Max Effort Squat / DL + Lower Accessories + Speed Bench Day 2 - Max Effort Bench + Upper Accessories + Speed Squat / DL My bar speed is nowhere near as quick as yours. Should i lower to 30-40%?

hey matt, thanks for making a youtube channel, i wanted to ask you about flat feet and powerlifting, what is your aproach to that problem? or is not a problem? how to deal with it for lifting?

[@DixonDeadlifts]

Really depends on your federation & body type. Essentially, which ever one you’re able to move weight the fastest is the one you should use because acceleration is key. Hope this helps.

[@kevinmuns1263]

Great video. How would you program this for sets/reps and how often would you incorporate speed work compared to your other pressing days?

[@DixonDeadlifts]

9x3 & 8x3 is often the standard for speed days. They’re usually performed 3 days after max effort work so that the fatigue from one workout doesn’t affect the other. Hope this helps.

[@sethspaner3438]

30 % x 10x3, 35% x 8x3, and 40% x 6x3 Edit: didn't finish the video, just saw the question.

[@riverdavis6340]

Typically speed work is done once a week for upper and lower. So let’s say Sunday I do max effort upper I would do dynamic upper on Wednesday.

What is the evidence that speedwork isn’t absolutely useless, outside of the extra volume it provides.

[@15ritolaj]

Whats the point of pushing or pressing something if you can only push or press it slow?

[@jtyree0226]

You do have a point it does have to do with overall more volume but learning to lift faster/more explosive does help to push through points when weights get heavier. However speed work doesn’t really have a benefit if you’re beginner and have not built a base of strength first
