 First question is from C David Anthony. What are your thoughts on super slow training? Super slow training. Is there a franchise? Is there a franchise that still exists that's around this? I just remember the one that was off Silver Creek. Yes, yeah. But really, they actually have places that are. Yes, they do. Yeah, they just do super slow training. Kind of fascinating. As a young trainer, I used to shit on it. Really? Yeah, as a young trainer, not kind of being aware of like how valuable that actually could be for somebody. So they obviously targeted, you know, the older population. And that was the angle was that they were explaining the importance of resistance training, but and the safety of going super, super slow. Because you have all these machines and they would literally do like a single rep that like took. Yeah, 30 seconds or a minute. Yeah. Yeah, so I so I actually read about, I don't know that, by the way, I read about this as a kid, like it was super into trying to build muscle. And I found anything I could read about building muscle, the history of building muscle, the science I would consume. And I read an article about super, they called it super slow motion training. And it started during World War Two. During World War Two, it was very difficult to get iron. In fact, the government limited how much iron you could buy for things like weights or whatever, because they needed it for the war effort. So you had all these people that were lifting weights, not a ton, but enough to where they're like, what are we going to do? Our dumbbells now only go up to 30 pounds. We only have a few 10 pound weights. And so these bodybuilders invented super slow motion training, whereas with a normal rep, it might be a two reps down, two reps up. They would do something like 30 seconds up, 30 seconds down or 60 seconds up, 60 seconds down. And their intention solely was to see how much they can make it more difficult and challenging with their limited amount of weight. Yes, now there is diminishing returns. Like you can't just go like ridiculous with slow-mo training and expect better and better results. In fact, at some point when the time under tension is too long, it becomes an endurance exercise rather than a strength training exercise. But that being said, slow motion training, if you go like, if you do like a 30 second rep, think about how long a set normally takes you, right? So how long would a set of 15 reps traditionally take you? Yeah, 30 to 45 seconds. So if you did one rep. That took 30 to 45 seconds. The time under tension is similar. And you're going to get, and you will get some interesting results. I had a boss that competed in bodybuilding. He was a little guy. Oh, I know what you're talking about. I had a boss who was- He had the shoe scapes. Yes, he did. And he used to roll around. You guys already know this stuff, right? Because he's a weirdo. And he was kind of, yeah, he was a different guy for sure. And this was the first time. Yep, yep. He was around the gym in him. Yeah, yeah. He was great physique though. He did. Great, great physique. Shredded. And this is how he trained. Never forget watching him train. He would go grab like a pair of 80 pound dumbbells and do one rep. Very, very slow. And so he, like you bring up the point of like, you know, that's limiting because you can't, you know, you don't want to do it for, you know, three minutes because then it becomes endurance. Right. He wouldn't do that. He would just do it for, and he had this incredible physique and he trained every muscle group like this. It would be one to two reps tops. And it would be incredibly slow. And he would pick a weight that's probably up there towards his, you know, 80% or so. Interesting. I've never seen anybody do that. Yes. That's how he trained and that always, not like sometimes he always trained this way and he had a great physique. And I see, And it makes sense. And this was a young guy. Now I see tremendous value for somebody who's older. Totally. And cause this is way safer. If you grab a weight that you can control on a 15 second negative, it's a weight that is for sure a lot lighter than a weight that you could probably push, you know, out five or six reps with. So the fact that you can control it like that and you're not just using the rebound effect, which a lot of people do when they're, when they're coming out of the negative, I just think that's really, really valuable for that clientele. I'd imagine there'd be a lot of other like benefits to it, like cognitive benefits and like focus benefits, you know, for going like super slow and being under that amount of tension that whole time and being able to account for every little movement and everything like that. Your brain would be highly a spark. To that point, I use that as a great way to teach form. Of course. So if I had a client that was, and I wouldn't do it the whole set or the whole workout like this, but if let's say I was teaching something as basic as like a straight bar curl and doesn't matter how many times I showed him, he was still rocking the elbows and doing all that stuff, I would then go, okay, we're gonna go real lightweight. And I'm like, I want you to go super slow. You're gonna take 30 seconds. I want you to count on your head when you do this. And I would be positioning his body. So as he got to different parts of the rep, I would adjust, I would adjust. I would adjust. I'd be like, no, no, no, no. So your elbows are gonna go and then I would readjust. And so once they felt that go through like two or three like really slow reps, it would click for them like, oh, I need to keep myself like this. If he really did some interesting stuff like this for sports training where we do squats, but then we'd have somebody sort of pushing them from one side so they had to account for that type of force as they're going down. So that way too, like it was like a stability issue too. Like if somebody had a little bit of instability, they could really address it by going super slow and then accounting for that all the way down. Yeah, well with this, you get great stability and you get great connection. If you have trouble connecting to a muscle and a compound lift, do a really slow rep, right? Because as I'm going down in a squat and if I want to feel my glutes, I can each increment, readjust and continue to concentrate on the muscle that I'm trying to target. For example, a bench press, right? One thing you could do with a bench press is you could focus on the fact that the chest is what's bringing the humerus to center, right? So what I could do is I could create tension, bringing my hands in and I can bring my arms out as I go down and know that the chest is resisting that kind of outward motion. And as I come up, I'm focusing on bringing the elbow in rather than extending the arm, which is a tricep. So it allows you to connect, it builds stability. What it doesn't do is it doesn't contribute well to speed or power or athleticism except for from a stability standpoint. I think this is a great technique to throw on occasionally. I don't think it replaces traditional resistance training but I do think the- Or for beginners too. Yeah, I think it's a great, I mean, it's great to do like a week, throw in a week of doing this or an exercise. Yeah, an exercise, I can see that. Or an exercise and see how it feels. The pump you get from this is insane, by the way. You get an incredible pump from doing it. I mean, I do this almost unintentionally. So at home, we only have up to 50 pound dumbbells. I was doing shoulders the other day and I can do a lot more than 50 pound dumbbells. And so, I was like, wow, I wanna get my shoulder workout. So my presses, I did these five extremely slow reps. So yeah, no, I think it's great value and I think it's especially for specific groups. No, obviously to your point, if you're an athlete or you have specific goals, but for the average person, intermittently using this into your routine or doing a phase of it every once in a while or just every once in a while doing that with an exercise. And I like to pick an exercise that you're not the greatest at, form and technique-wise. It's a good excuse for you to slow it down. Highlight the discrepancy. That's right, that's right.
