Can You Deload with Speed Sets?

[u418936]

I need to deload for awhile. For bench, I was thinking of doing speed sets for two weeks. I haven't done much speed work, and I'd be doing 50% of my 1RM for sets of three, so I don't think it'll be too taxing. Anyone have an opinion on this?

well the idea of true DE training IS to tax the fast twitch fibres.

When I was into PLing speed benches always beat me up more than any ME work, even shirted. It can be done. Just watch your volume.
