Weight training with slow reps has increased in popularity over the past few years, and many who were weight training with a faster rep speed have been led to believe that doing so is harmful to results, while increasing the risk of weight training injuries. Of course, if using incorrect weight training form, it's quite easy to cause injuries when using faster weight training rep speed, but such mishaps are also possible when weight training with slow reps, which is yet another reason to focus on perfect weight training form for each workout, which is one of the keys to injury prevention when following a weight training program.
Weight training with slow reps actually provides less overload to the muscles, causing a slower response rate from the muscle fibers, which adversely impacts weight training results. In fact, although slower weight training rep speed has become popular, the difference in weight training results between slow and faster reps can be dramatic, with a faster weight training rep speed producing far greater muscle growth, strength gains, and not dramatically increasing the risk of weight training injury on most exercises (assuming that weight training form remains perfect).
Weight training success requires many variables, including proper weight training rep speed, but what is considered popular in weight training circles is many times exactly the opposite of what produces maximum weight training results, so if you are achieving disappointing progress despite consistent, dedicated weight training workouts, please consider changing your weight training routine immediately, and know that my weight training program, which has hundreds of worldwide testimonials, will provide you with the exact weight training diet and training techniques to follow for maximum weight training results.
