Depending on your goal in lifting, you may lift in a slow tempo for muscle tension, igniting muscle growth, an explosive rep to push the heaviest weight possible, or a steady controlled fast pace for endurance.
If you lay down for a bench press for example, grab the bar and press it until lock out, and then rack the bar, you may have transitioned from one location in space to another, but how many variables did you take into account? There is to take in mind the following: hand grip width, bar placement in hand, position of feet, toes or heels touching the ground, the amount of lower back curvature via arch, how close the shoulders are pinned, whether the lats are contracting to aid, the twist of the arm, the vertical movement whether a j hook is used, whether you're using chalk or wrist wraps, the desired range of motion, or how much the shoulder, chest, and triceps are emphasized and used in the movement. It's the difference between a controller with two buttons or a keyboard with a hundred buttons.
The willingness to attack the bar on every rep and set is significant in progressing, avoiding injury, and ensuring mental confidence that prevails until the end of the session. A note on individuals who claim health to be their only goal, I find this admittance to be a deception with the reality being with the correct knowledge you can weight train at any age and with even very serious injuries. It's healthier to have bones with more density. I wouldn't go to the gym if I were to just do the same weight day in and day out. I don't want to be the man I was yesterday, I want to advance to the next platform that goes along with its own valued attributes. Do not settle for meagerness. We live and we die, and that life can be lived in a host which is lacking mobility, posture, movement, addicted to doctors and prescription medication, or you can live with the dignity your genes deserve.
