This is what I am thinking. Are you actually getting "faster"? Has anyone actually hit a true max and though "damn that was a slow rep", done speed work for a while and actually lifted a max weight faster than before?
Volume and speed work are not one in the same. using 45% of your max is not going to be all that beneficial for learning the lift once the load starts to increase. Doing 40kg speed squats won't help you learn to squat with 90kg if your max is 100. Does that make sense (tired and not sure if it makes sense).
Most novices and beginners just need to get stronger, not faster.
Is rate of force development a trainable skill?
0ni, what do you think?
In general, speed of movement should always be as great as possible; but in practice, this does not mean the actual movement will be very fast-because if the resistance is high as it should be
then the maximum *possible* speed of movement may in fact be quite slow.
For a raw lifter the hardest part is a few inches off the bottom. I cant figure out how youd set up chains so that most of the load comes on at this point. Deadlift i can see because you have the double weakness but with bench and squats it seems most of the load comes on too late in the ROM. So i still think pausing and reps would be more effective

I like to pick things up and put them down.
Also: what is different about a jerk than a press from a dead stop that makes it superior for developing rate of force?
