Super Slow or super crap?

Super slow training method------

This sounds like super crap to me!


All reps on all exercises will be performed in the 3-5 rep range. When you can perform more than 5 reps it is time to increase the weight. Rep speed is 10 seconds positive and 5 seconds negative.
On all pushing movements stop just short of locking out and begin the negative motion with a smooth turnaround. It is ok to pause in the contracted position on pulling movements for a second or two. When you reach positive failure on all movements keep trying to move the resistance for 10 to 15 more seconds
Rest from 4 to 10 days in between workouts
Workout 1
squats, dips, pull downs or chins, shrugs.
Rest 4-10 days
Workout 2
squats, dips, pull downs or chins, shrugs
Rest 4-10 days
Workout 3
deadlifts, overhead press or incline press, one arm db rows, curls optional.
(Ab work is also optional on workout days)
Repeat the cycle.

Yes I will correct you, I did them for 2 years and made some serious strength and put on muscle, I train with a buddy of mine who is a UFC fighter been doing super slows for the last 8 years and he is 248 lbs and maybe 9%, 5' 10" and thick as hell, and very strong, super slows do work, and negatives only very slow will also help with adding muscle and increasing strength big time.

Any program you do at 110% with a proper diet will put muscle on you and give you strength, there is no one program for everyone, as you get older and see more you will find this out and trying other programs you will see for yourself...

SUPER-SLOW training does not work for putting on muscle....I wasted a year of my training career finding this out for myself some years ago.JnJ23, fortunately you're young enough that if you wanted to try this style out for 6 months or so it won't set you back too much but EVERYONE I know that has dabbled with this training style has lost muscle

Was just trying to keep you from wasting your own training time but no worries.I was the same way.It's best finding stuff out for yourself through trial and error...Im not going to bother rambling on about fast twitch fiber recruitment and how slowing down your concentrics is a surefire way to muscle loss....etc....etc....
Try it out for yourself....All the best
