295x15 -> next week 305lbs and peak week 315.
So what’s going on here? Note the eccentric is fast and the concentric is violent. I perform these explosively as possible while maintaining a pause.

The pause was historically a necessity and evolved out of training around injury. For a period the stretch reflex (touch and go benches) were resulting in a pec strain. Then the gains came, tested on others…. And before long this became a staple. Pauses motha fuckaaa….

Swipe for some nerd shit and info on how training like this can be beneficial, but be careful fast eccentrics is a skill to be practiced. Don’t be reckless.
