Slow Motion Strength Training

Weight Training is the Key to Success
Only resistance training with weights can build lean muscle mass. By comparison, aerobics builds virtually none. Only lean muscle mass can change the shape of your body to the trim, curvaceous, or muscular form you want.

If weight training is so great, why Slow Motion Strength Training?
Because Slow Motion Strength Training is weight training in a remarkably efficient, more concentrated form. It’s been shown to be safer and it works faster to change your body composition. Regular weight training is great if you know you have the time for an hour in the gym, 4 to 6 days a week.

The Slow Motion Strength Training Secret
The cornerstone is the deliberately slow, controlled, 10 second upward and 10 second downward movement of the weights in each repetition. Since each repetition is one up-down cycle, a complete rep takes 20 seconds, during which you focus intently on correct form. Moving at this speed eliminates any chance of cheating with the weight’s momentum; therefore 100% of the work is performed by your muscles. This allows you to fire deeper and deeper layers of muscles fibers until, suddenly, you’re spent. Believe me, it’s a different sensation from other workouts.

The Bonus of Safety
Conventional weight lifting at conventional speeds subjects the joints, ligaments, and connective tissues---not to mention the muscles themselves---to hundreds of pounds of brutal force. The combination of the built-in warm-up plus slow, nonjerking movements provides a safe and secure lifting environment. It’s the only serious protocol I know that purposely wears out your muscles but never your joints, tendons, ligaments, or bones.
