Super Slow works great. Not everyone is a bodybuilder.

SUPER SLOW LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING FOR BOTH OF YOU!!!1 (SARCASM)

Type in youtube Vee Ferguson or Todd Beard Body By Science.

SuperSlow works, period. The hypertrophic response to resistance training is completely individual. Some people exhibit more strength, some develop larger muscle mass and less strength. There are millions of people using conventional 'broscience' training methods with no results, spending a ridiculous amount of time in the gym. Stop bitching on youtube and go and learn about the science of productive exercise.

@Reeve888 volume training doesn't work for the average trainer i agree. if you moderate intensity, frequency and volume smartly you can get great results. i bet neither of you can deadlift 405, strength = size.

@bigbobabc123

I'm not saying SuperSlow is the only way to train, there are other training approaches out there that have sound principles. But ultimately, intensity of effort is by far the most important training principle and SuperSlow focuses on that and does so in a manner that will prolong your training life (i.e. minimizes force exposure by reducing acceleration) and ensure your muscles are moving the weight, not momentum.

@Reeve888 i've never seen a pro athlete of any kind, physique, performance that has is good in their field that uses superslow, the reason being? it sucks. powerlifters don't use it, bodybuilders don't use it, football players dont.

@bigbobabc123

Josh Trentine is a professional bodybuilder and uses SuperSlow. He happens to be hugely muscular. The reason athletes, bodybuilders, strength and conditioning 'experts' don't use SuperSlow or other training methods that emphasize slow movement patterns is because they incorrectly believe you have to move explosively to develop strength or speed. Essentially, you would be wrong to use SuperSlow when squatting or deadlifting, but with specific equipment, like used above, it works.

@bigbobabc123 Most bodybuilders don't need SS because steroids & HGH allow them to ignore the rules of overtraining & recuperation. Most football players can't use SS because most of the free weight exercises they're required to do can't be done slowly, properly, & safely to true failure. Most powerlifters don't use SS because they need to train the SKILL of lifting heavy free weights. Even so, many of these athletes DO incorporate slow reps when possible.

@Reeve888 name me a decent pro bodybuilder/powerlifter/athlet­e that uses superslow? none? want to know why? there are MUCH better ways of training.

@bigbobabc123

I've just named Josh Trentine, who might not be a well known pro bodybuilder, but has an amazing physique, which was built by High Intensity Training/SuperSlow training methods. I said SuperSlow is not the only way to train, there are other training approaches out there that have sound principles. Your judging the validity of a training protocol based on the appearance of the person using it. Any intelligent person knows this is inherently wrong.

[bigbobabc123]

@Reeve888 HIT works, superslow doesn't. it's good for people withpoor joints though as some sort of training but not to get to your bodies potential.

[lazur1]

@bigbobabc123 There's much variation within SS. Some subjects require a shorter sets with heavier weights to get the desired results. "SSZone" won't allow for this, but the actual SS protocol -does-. Most people are looking for all-round fitness. They don't want to grow out of their wardrobe. For them, the typically longer sets are often the best choice.

[lazur1]

@bigbobabc123 Genetics trump all protocols. There are 16 year old boys out there who've never lifted a weight, yet arre more muscular than most men can ever train to become.

[bigbobabc123]

@lazur1 ss is not the best way to train, i can promise you that. i used to focus on form and didn't progress one bit doing slow reps with long recovery. then when i focused on more of a powerlifting routine with heavy sets mixed in with longer sets i added 40lbs of muscle in a short period of time.

ur such a hit jedi, try other training methods, they are better i promise you.

[lazur1]

@b:There's no best. SS's main virtue is safety.I've had good results from every protocol. The 2 factors to build muscle: tension/inroad. Long slow sets: deep inroad/low tension. Powerlifting: high tension/shallow inroad. A single program to enhance all fitness aspects is between the 2 extremes. SS the biz uses 2min sets&10/10reps, but theSSprotocol accepts under60sec sets &5/5reps, which allows heavier weight/greater tension. Believe it or not, most people don't want to add 40 lbs of muscle. 

[bigbobabc123]

@lazur1 do most guys want to look like they have never been in a gym in their life? a proper lifting regime with cardio and a decent diet can give most people an athletic,aesthetic and healthy body. not their bodies.

[lazur1]

@b: Most people want to look better than they did before training, to -themselves-, not to 3rd party jocks who think "they look like they've ever been a gym". They want to fit better in the clothes they already own, not gain 40lbs. A SuperSlow-style program works well for the goals I have as an adult, tho I've also had good results as a teen and young adult from every style of training, from high-volume bodybuilding to big 3 power training. Different strokes.
