Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I am referring to the point at lockout, do you pause for a second, or have continuous motion through your entire set of reps? I find myself pausing roughly 1-2 seconds between reps. I tried a constant motion last night with no pausing even at lockout on incline and man did it kick my ass using the same amount of weight I normally do. I guess this shows a weakness in endurance? It seems as though if you do pause, it might be a good idea to kill some reps without pausing every now and then to get your muscular endurance up.
Incline and/or Flat press.....Do you pause between reps?

Interesting question.
When I perform all pressing movements, I keep constant stress on the muscle.. I never pause or lockout, so essentially I am getting a 3/4 range of motion.
It works really well.

I don't pause on my chest...but do try to lockout though. With light weights...I sometimes don't lockout. The reps are usually so light and easy...that the lockout is sometimes overlooked...lol.

I use a pause at the top, on my final reps sometimes. I find that pausing at the top near the end of a set and holding the weight at lockout, allows me to blast out a few extra reps I wouldnt normally be able to get at a constant pace.
