I seem fine lowering it to the ground, just be cautious with how you do the work, maybe get someone to watch for a few sets till you get it.
No. Arg. If you dont get it look it up. Concentric Only Training. There are several reasons for it. Less chance of injury is one. Engaging a different metabolic process and different muscle fibers is the main reason. You can lift more and more often with COT. Here's a link that dumbs it down a bit.
