But can someone actually say: -yes, i've done it and it worked, my speed increased- Last time i tryed this i ended up wasting my time... 3 reps for 10 sets with %50 of 1RM... obviously the bar moved fast but %50 aint %90... how the hell can i carry over speed from so far appart percentages?

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I have no idea how this works. I don't ever dedicate a session to speed work, I justdo all my warm up sets as fast as possible. If I just did speed work I'd feel like I'd just warmed up then gone home.

I do this too make all my warm ups as speedy as possible. I don't do a day of for example 10 singles at 50% or anything

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290 665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I've just started doing them at about 60% for 8 sets of 3. It's boring as f**k and I dont feel particularly like I have done much of anything. I do however like the fact that it gets me pulling twice per week though and allows me to focus on form and set up so I'm going to give them a little while longer before writing them off.

Member 299, 579 posts SQ 250, BP 200, DL 282.5 732.5 kgs @ 109kgs UnEq	I've tried speed benching and my bar speed did increase.Now I do speed benching when I feel my bar speed slowing down.

Member 1485, 49 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 265 695.0 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq	I have followed a speed type system performing 9x3@70% (misread the advice should have been using 60%) every other day with a heavy day every 5th session. I have to say that my bench strength & technique improved dramatically but is was a very hard programme to recover from and I ultimatly ended up with a torn pec. When i return to lifting i doubt i will use the system again (!) but will be lifting explosively with whatever weight or percentage I am using. On another note I found box squatting explosively (with 75%+) was really beneficial for strength.

another lover of conans wheel Member 1116, 2379 posts SQ 275, BP 210, DL 330 815.0 kgs @ 134kgs UnEq	agree with most on here, never done it just go through warm up sets with speed but control. only time i do incorporate speed is on yoke runs with light weights

Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240 520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	If I'm not mistaken I think Andy Bolton does a lot of speed work. Probably does the majority of work less then 70% of his top weight and focus a lot on speed.

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5 677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq	Isn't speed work only useful for equipped lifters?
