OK...I am putting these vids in to show what I mean by "Working the Muscle" The sets are all 1 minute in length. Non-explosive motion. We are BODYBUILDING not PowerLifting. At the end of the set, my chest is FRIED, yet my shoulders and tries are fresh...MEANING...they were minimally involved in my CHEST training. I did do a set w/ 2 slow reps and 4 explosive reps. What I found was when I exploded, my shoulders and tries kicked in, taking stress off of the muscle I was trying to train. The key to muscle growth is "Time Under Tension". A muscle worked for 30 seconds will not grow the same as one under 1 minute or more of stress. TUT

As you can see the weights are NOT heavy...60lbs on flat DB. and only 185 on the Smith Machine press. 135 on Decline (which was the first time in years I had done decline) I noticed no shoulder pain and fatigued my chest greatly.

Not trying to be a dick...but I am not FAT, and not the strongest in the Gym, but NO one so far has rivaled my conditioning. I am sore for days after each workout.

Now if you want to be as stong as possible, than these vids are NOT for you. If you want to LOOK stong as possible....I challange you to do this workout for a month and let us know what you think. It goes against ALL meathead ideas of lift heavy. I did that, and now am paying the price w/ fucked up shoulderes, knees and low back.

Try this on leg press, or shoulder press.

Incline 1 Minute, 5 second reps, 185 on the bar

Any other comments?
POK laugh at my shirt. But it is from a gym that I trained in during HS and College. Nalley was an owner who died of cancer a few years ago. He was a good friend and an Olympic Bobsledder in the '80 Olympics. I wear all his shirts w/ respect and pride even if they are out-dated.

It is a great way to train, i prob go a little bit faster but same concept, keep things slow. It is a good thread for people starting out... Plus least you didnt just f**k the weights down wen you finished ha ha ha

i love working out slow the burn feels so good, my friend at school had me do an insane randy couture workout no break at all, and i was supposed to do 6 sets but we only did 4, you go slow all throughout it, my chore is sore my legs are sore, my traps are sore, my glutes are sore.
