I'd rather see you doing paused presses, reverse band benching, or even just sticking to regular lifts off the chest like incline and decline barbell. I'm doing paused presses nowadays as my ME supplemental lift. Try doing some closegrip benching for a few sets of 5-8 with each rep paused on the chest for a 1-2 second count. GREAT explosive work. Same with neutral grip db presses, incline barbells, ect. Still, always work in a few weeks of triceps pressing a la pin, board, and JM presses. Think about it more as heavy triceps pressing on ME days, and all isolations/extensions, ect on DE days.

Awesome, thanks. I have been debating on changing out the speed work for RE work for the extra volume. Plus, I have never felt I get anything out of speed work. I am a big proponent of the belief that volume drives intensity.
