At the gym, resistance training (bodybuilding) has been made over to be super slow. Superslow is not a negative term used to describe a physically inept exercise enthusiast. On the contrary, physical instructors are touting the super slow resistance training program as a way for bodybuilders and resistance trainers to conquer more power during their workout.

In the opinion of certain physical training experts, superslow resistance training outperforms traditional strength training in three critical
ways:

Safety. 1) Personal trainers deem the super slow regimen as safer than the traditional form of weight lifting. When movements are executed in a deliberately slow motion, it reduces the total of the ballistic force inflicted upon the body. As a result, there is a lower incident rate of pain and injury.

Concentration benefits. When weights are lifted at a slower momentum, the reaction to the muscle is ‘unloaded’ at a slower rate which offers better loading which enables more concentrated benefits to the muscle.

Full isolation. In order to attain optimal advantages of strength training, the muscle that is being worked on must be fully isolated. Commonly, lifters are prone to deprive the muscles of the benefits of the movement by twisting, slightly using the knees to help lift the weight or even arching the back. During slow and deliberate movements, the physical and mental focus work in confluence which represents muscle development advantages.

In essence, super slow is a form of weight lifting that entails raising the weight within ten seconds and then lowering the weight at 10 seconds. Although, there are a few various exceptions to the objective of superslow, it is the premises of the training program. Rather than the traditional 12 to 15 repetitions, superslow weight training involves only four to six repetitions.
