I'm now using considerably less than 1/3 of my 1rm for the bench press, and still can't seem to get much more than 40 reps in a minute. Might just take a lot of work for my upper body endurance to catch up with strength?
Bench press and "Military press," are the only things I'm having this problem with.
It should also be noted I'm using free-weights for these two lifts, as there are only 1 "machine," for each of these at the gym I go to, and said machines get cranky and "lock" the weights if I try to press too quickly.
