Slow weight repititions
-
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 />

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.....
