Fast as fuck reps, no slow eccentric 6 - 8 reps
Constant tension medium speed 10 reps
Fast as fuck concentric But slow eccentric 6 - 8 reps
Everyone post amounts of reps But what about speed to produce muscle gains

I've read in more than one scientific study that it is the eccentric portion that is mainly responsible for hypertrophy of muscle. I have also read in more than one scientific study that moving the weight as fast as possible in the concentric portion utilizes the most muscle fibres.
So the "Fast as fuck concentric But slow eccentric" option would seem to be the best for muscle mass based on what I've read.
"Fast as fuck" is relative also, If you are lifting a really heavy weight as fast as possible, it could appear to be going very slowly from any other persons perspective. But is is still "fast as fuck" for you and recruiting the most muscle fibres.
this is what i have come to, But if you lower the weight slowly you lose power and you'd not be able to do as many reps with the amount of weight, also i thought the faster you move an object the greater FORCE it creates. Where are these scientists? Do some more studies for fuck sake. I also read some where on a study that doing barbell curls without a slow eccentric movement works the biceps better, and lowering the weight on the negative ECCENTRIC slowly works the brachiallis more (however you spell it).

I try to press as fast as I can witha controlled negative.
-
just push the weight up and down as many times as you can, eat food, sleep, your genetics determine the rest, its not rocket science.
theres no 'secret technique' thats going to make your muscles huge
-
Errrr, way too complicated. I just lift. As for barbell presses (for shoulders and chest), I pause the weight at the bottom for a slight second. It seems like its making a difference. However, its probably all psychological.
-
Just do all of the above, changing technique each set. Problem solved.
-
you must explode but with so much weight that it comes across a slow and controled, still with perfect form of course, but that's the only way I know how to do a rep
-
One thing is for sure, no one ever built a huge physique by doing super slow movement. Don't over think, just lift.

"Don't over think, just lift" Good advice !!
