  • Not sure I agree with this video either, though I'm not standing firmly on either side of the argument. Doing an exercise slowly, and in control, tends to activate the deep muscle fibers. Sure, it uses more ATP...it's because it is more work. That work often gives results.

  • @Christine29LuvMe Lifting a heavier weight with maximal intensity causes deep fiber contractions. Completing 4 reps vs 8 reps because you ran out of ATP and CP is not more work. 

  • Steve does working out legs help you build upper body strenght?

  • @wheredah0odat Nope. Old myth.

  • yah i cant agree eaither. look at scooby1961's build and then tell me that slow perfect form won't do jack

  • @smellymundelly96 Throw in a healthy dose of roids and you could jerk off and get bigger.

  • For everyone on here that thinks Steve is wrong...look at professional athletes like Kevin Nee or Alistair Overeem. Their physiques are incredible and they both have one thing in common, when they lift weights they lift heavy and explosively. They don't lift with an explosive positive and a slow negative..There's you're lesson boys and girls..

  • @smellymundelly96 Scooby isn't really that big and I would say Steve is more developed.

  • @Christine29LuvMe ATP-CP system lasts probably 10-12 seconds so you basically have that amount of time to work as hard as you can before fast twitch fibers run out of fuel.

  • @TheManofConviction steroids just fill you of hot gas, will look buffed, but the moment you leave them you'll "deflate" like a balloon, besides you workout to stay healthy and fit, not to be worse than when you started (cof cof arnold schwarzenegger)

  • @BodyPerformanceTV don't you still have to train hard on steroids to get bigger?

  • Id say slowly down, and explode up...personally. isn't lifting weights slowly more for static holds?

  • How about injury? It should be in control or you gonna snap some shit up man.

  • what about constant work load exercises with slow reps
