I've been very happy with this style of training, remember it is after all progressive weight training just like any other worthwhile style of training. I don't think I'm any big deal but I'm a decent size and pretty cut (mainly because of my strict diet) but this system for me has been better than any other I've tried. Its not the best system for powerlifting or Olympic lifting and it doesn't negate the fact that yes, other systems of training work too but for me its been the best.
I've tried it for 3 weeks , and I've lost 6 pounds with already! an average of 2lbs a week which is a safe reduction of weight per week, Another thing im comparing my appearance when I was 186 lbs last march 2009 and now when I trimmed down again to 186lbs(I've reached 192lbs from april to june 2009) I look very different, If you want an answer why the weight lifters dont follow this read the book slow burn
I love this TECHNIQUE of training! I use it regularly and also ADVOCATE it (esp. for people just returning to TRAINING). However, I do recommend that one COMBINE this w/shorter bouts, say 5-10 mins, of more INTENSE exercise as part of an OVERALL workout program. Including STRETCHING and STATIC RESISTANCE work (ie., Standing Half Squats for 15 mins or so....which hurts like hell)...and is a cousin to SLOW BURN. Great vid! Thanks for spreading the word.
I tried 'slow training' and it's no picnic..its not for sissies, it hurts! However I don't really think I built any muscle with it, although I think it definitely has a future in re-hab. I don't know anyone who built any muscle or strength using this type of training exclusively
if this really works then how come powerlifters and world strongest men competitor's don't follow this? Simple, it's only for looks not REAL strenth for real world situations.
Anyone who doesn't think 20 minutes is enough exercise has never worked very hard. 20 miuntes of truly hard work is more than most people have ever done in their lives.
I tried it and I recommend skeptics this exercise. The results also noticed my colleague and wants to try it and her husband. :-)
