forced or negatives reps on bench

[AAden]

hello all,

I was just wondering what the piont of forced reps as well as negative reps were for?

Would 5 sets of 3 at 95% of your 1 rep max be considered forced reps?

How would this kind of a routine help you?

I asked because I spotted a guy at the gym today who was trying this.

Now that I remember it,

It complete workout was

warm ups 135lbs

3x8 185lbs failure
3x3 230lbs forced reps
170lbs quarter reps lower 6 inches.

Is there anything wrong with this? Would it be effective?

looks like he is a week or two out from trying for a new PR. It's how the tail end of a 5x5 looks.

how much were were you helping him? If I was doing something similar I'd scream at you if you touched the bar and I didn't tell you too.

He told me he wasn't getting any of the 3x3s I think I took about8-10lbs off each lift.

forced reps should only be one or two sets at the most. YOu really risk injury if you are doing 5 sets.
