lol, whoops sorry about that Hooroo. RB asked a good question!<br />
<br />
If you are losing weight your (existing) muscles will show more without having to do any weights!! Ask Bartman about cutting down!<br />
<br />
So if you are doing weights you will most likely get a bit more bulk and definition in addition to getting stronger. In terms of how you workout I'd mix it up - it's great for keeping you motivated and you can experiment with your results. You can actually do both in the same rep/lift too. I know that's a wishy washy answer but people do respond to different training styles in different ways.<br />
<br />
ok, I've thought about fast/slow a bit more - For full body exercises like squats, bench and DL's I'd want a fast/explosive lift and a slower motion for loading the muscles. Like a three count while you lower the bar on bench then BAM push as hard/fast as you can. The weight I am lifting dictates how many reps/sets I am going for.<br />
<br />
Sheesh, I don't think I've done a very good job with that sorry!!<br />
<br />
Edit: See a personal trainer ha ha, they are def worth the money and knowing the hard work you are doing is taking you toward your goal is awesome too.<br />

You've done a great job! Stop behind so hard on yourself mate -
Different Schools of thought. Great to have tension on the muscle whilst training it, I'm all for that every now and again but on the flipside when you're showing off to your wifes hot mates hows strong you are compared to their pussy fiances/boyfriends etc by throwing rocks around it's basically "fuck form, lift as fast and quickly as possible"........ <br />
<br />
on a completely different level the worlds strongest men ( on that link on another thread ) aren't particularly "ripped" ( well, some less than others ) but get where they are by eating a fucken shitload, having awesome genetics and power/technique/strength....none of them would bother with the lift slow stuff I wouldn't imagine. -

Plus juice, don't forget the juice. -
There science as i understand it, behind varying the tempo (time taken) of the eccentric (the lowering) and concentric (the lifting) movements is about what muscle fibres (fast twitch or slow twitch) are being targeted. <br />

Variation is the key I think. And to keep you interested, change all the time. Some more variations on that slow etc. When the bar touches your chest, let it sit there for a count of 3. Pause press our trainer calls it. Dumbell press is ideal for this, and the smith machine.<br />
<br />
And Hooroo, you can lift as heavy as you like and low reps or high reps, you are NOT going to get hugely muscular by accident. Unfortunately, it does not work like that. You'll lose weight, and SEE your current muscles, but they ain't going to pop out like Arnold overnight! Which is super stink!! What'll happen to you is you'll look lean and muscular when you BF% starts to drop below 20%. -

and who gives a fuck what other people are lifting. Do YOUR weights, do your form correctly, and your body will change. Let the swinging dick brigade run around posing like arses doing their 1 set every ten minutes...<br />

At least I actually do something pal, not like you "Aw I live in Queensland, it's too hot to exercise!!!"<br />

don't hate me because i am secure enough not to have to talk about my "guns" every 5 mins.<br />
<br />
Back on topic, based on this thread, i have started mixing it up. Some slow sets, some with fast up and slow down, and some just fast. I find it doesn't affect the weight i lift, but i definitely feel the difference in the muscles as they work (i think, or i could be imagining it). -

You're confusing me with Bart. He couldn't go five minutes in Welly without coming round to pinch my weights. -
you even call your balls "weights"? You're obsessed.....
