What the video covers
Slow reps or fast? 0.5-8 s per rep: similar muscle (Schoenfeld, Ogborn and Krieger, 2015, 8 studies). 10 s+ per rep: seems worse (Schoenfeld, Ogborn and Krieger, 2015). 2× bench improvement lifting with intent to move fast. Lower under control and lift with intent. The video ends by showing how to create the routine in Progrevia.
