I have been trying to lift slower and more intensely along the lines of what MikeCF has been saying at his blog dangerandplay.com. I think he calls it HIT.
If you don't need to brag about how much you are lifting to your friends, I think it it comes down to just how hard you are working your muscles and how fatigued you get them. I am getting better workouts by dropping my weight on the bench to 185 and doing 5 to 7 second decreases and 3 to 5 second presses for 5 to 10 reps. Then I drop and do pushups to squeeze out the last bit.
Tomorrow I may try the machines.
Are you getting bigger that way?
