Yes, I'd agree, however I was not referring to a one rep max, I was referring to a basic set.

Ok, I agree with you for the most part. We just had different intepretations of the term "fast." You say fast while it really looks slow, I say fast because the weight is moving fast and usually in a jerky motion. I don't think taking 10sec for the positive movement is worth it at all, however, a 4sec positive is about what it should take. And always under control, never jerking up the weight up because momentum will take over.

Yes, clearly slow and controlled wouldn't work for either of those because those are fast movements, you're right about that.
