Stop guessing your speed bench weight. 50–60% isn’t a rule—it’s a starting point. If the bar slows before lockout or your technique breaks down, it’s too heavy. Most lifters miss the point of speed work by chasing weight instead of bar speed. Film your sets. Watch the bar. You want explosive, consistent speed from rep 1 to rep 8—no deceleration, no breakdown. Train your nervous system to produce force fast, not just move weight. Adjust based on what you SEE, not what a chart says. 👉 Go to elitefts.com for all your training needs. #conjugatemethod #speedbench #powerliftingtips #strengthtraining #elitefts
