whoa!
Nabistai: ok so yeah Mason answered it pretty much. Its called positive when you CONTRACT the muscle. that is pulling or pushing a weight. the negative is when you RELAX the muscle and let it go back to a "rest" state. Negatives are as important, if not more so than the positives. There is an entire workout you can do on just negatives alone and a lot of people do it in later stages to help gain strength. So Positive is an explosive movement, as hard as you can can CONTROLLABLY, and negative is a slow 2 second countdown
Falcon: The bench press uses biceps, triceps, pecs, and shoulders. This is why I have split bench days into a Chest/back day. The next day is Biceps, triceps, shoulders as any other exercise you do will invariably use them. The next day is Legs because you can spend 2 hours on legs because they are so massive and fast to recover. This is what shwarzenegger said to do, and after trying variations, I gotta agree with him 
Nabistai (again) : Between sets you should wait no longer than 3 minutes, and if you are trying to burn fat off, id say 45 breaths (about a minute). The more aerobic the more fat. The more anaerobic, the more energy youll get back (after 3 min youll get all that youre gonna get back, back) and youll be more intense and itll help bulk more.
Bass Drive: Not at all! Never heard that before! Its only bad if you do an uncontrolled negative and let it jerk you around! I rep 120lbs and start off with 90 as a warm up. Its a hard muscle to work out so do it right!
