I am inclined to believe that this is the path I must follow. After three long months of waiting for my shoulder osteoarthritis therapy, I was advised to take it very easy for the next two months after which I will resume normal training. In the meantime, I have to focus on slowwwwwwwww eccentrics and isometric contractions to manage my joint. But when you think about it, it makes sense. I dare you to try and do the same amount of push-ups by lowering yourself very slowly. Much more work is involved, which in reality is what we should be doing.
I am the same as you it makes sense to go slow when injured. This is the best bench channel I have ever seen wish I wasn't injured so I could give it the full biffters
Depends on rep-range and how many sets ur working. I personally just modifed my own program with tempo bench twice a week, where one was with 3 sec pause at the bottom. I do tempo work about 20% (+-) less than my pause 1rm is. With everything from heavy singles to backoffs with 2-3x4-5. I use rpe, so I go after how my day form is, not going over rpe 8.5 (means i got 1,5 reps left in the tank). Rather work lighter weight with low rpe to make than going near failure/failure. (btw I do slow ecentric and concentric day 1, and day 2 slow ecentric + 3 sec pause and long concentric) And dont underestimate the difficualty, its acutally pretty tough)
