Title: Super slow training: for the explosive athlete?
Post by: TKXII on June 12, 2012, 05:42:22 pm

What do you guys think? FOr those who don't know, super slow training, in the literature at least from my understanding, involves 4-5 s eccentrics, than 10 second concentrics. The load is definitely lower than what most ppl use for strength building. I'm giving it a shot actually, at the end of my workouts. So far the potentiation isn't bad..

Has anyone tried super slow and noted strength gains superior to conventional methods or seen improvements in athleticism, vert, speed?

Also the main reason I'm actually trying super slow (except instead of a 10s concentric, it's more like 5 for deep squats since that shit is so tough), is because I think it will be less stressful to the nervous system and calm me down more after workouts.
