Actually, I'll do you one better... than even this movement!!!

Decline BB bench press with top range static hold. REASON: The amount of weight you can use, overload and thus.... muscle growth stimulated and ultimately manifests is that much greater!!!

Justin,

The static holds are done fully extended because you are using a much heavier weight than you are used to... ie, above your max.

If you did it not fully extended, you wouldnt be able to hold it, it would just slowly go down (like a negative) and you would need help getting it up.

The static hold taxes all kinds of little muscles and fibers and whatnot so that they actually build and get stronger.

This allows them to get stronger and more used to the heavier weight, so that when you are doing Bench, or pulls, or whatever exercise, that you will be more comfortable with the weight and not be like DAMN! THIS IS HEAVY!

Hope that helps!

Daniel, at least one of The 3Faces of Fear(tm) is a fan of the 5 second mark now. That would be "Mixelflick". Neither Rob or his "Corporate America" alter-ego, has ever set foot in a gym.

Rob tipped Mixelflick off to this after he discussed with Pete Sisco. Pete runs this absolutely fantastic site, furthering his Static Contraction training theories:

Agreed, if you can hold it longer than 5 seconds you didn't use enough weight. I'm usually a fraction under lockout, watch those elbows and knees...

Watch your back too, I have the tendency to lean forward when i drop the weight back on the rack...this is a poor practice **advise against**
