Re: Bench press! To Pause, or not to Pause.

If your sticking point is on the bottom pausing can be a GREAT way to slam that sticking point. You can also pause things like your dumbbell presses and close grips. Key to this is being as explosive as possible after the pause. We are trying to increase force rate production in the motor units and lifting slow on the positive activates a LOT less motor units.
