TJ Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I heard that doing your push-ups slower increases muscle use. Has anyone heard the same?
Octavarium Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Physics would tell you that you use the same ammount of energy no matter how fast you expend it. You can just expend more of it in less time.
Smush Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 If by slower you mean better form and full ROM then yeah it would probably. But push ups can only do so much unless you have freak genetics.

Tom (Rendition) Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Well yes, you probably would feel it more doing 10 pressups slow mo, then doing it standard speed. But pressups wont get you big, only help with toning.

I never really did push ups when I used to work out... Not something I really found useful. And I didn't ask for a fucking pathetic sarcastic answer, I just wanted to know what if it was true or not. Thanks for being SO helpful... ffs :facepalm: didnt you claim to bench 315 the othre week lmao Yea back when I was in highschool... I'm a skinny fuck now.
