Are press ups best done quickly or slowly?

Question

Push ups for our friends accross the pond!

Answer 1

Fast for speed and slowly for power

Answer 2

i hold for 30 sec so i say slowly

Answer 3

It depends on what you want to achieve. If you are trying to lose weight keep supple and agile, then fast. If you want to build muscle then slowly.

Answer 4

Slowly is the only way to go  

Answer 5

its best to work on the muscles by doing them slowly, when you do them slowly you get a lot more out of it and you feel different after doing them, than when they are done fast.  

Answer 6

Depends wut is ur objective. If u wanna gain mass, do it slowly. If u wanna gain explosive power do it fast

Answer 7

slowly and staidly, doing it fast give momentum which make it easier and therefore not as useful

Answer 8

both, so a variation or both.. as ur muscles adapt to the excercise that u do, so if you change it ofter they have to work harder ;)

ok? x
