Can't do high reps after starting superslow

[Patrick82]

Or this.

You're using somewhat respectable form and a decent tempo (that isn't superslow). Now why don't you be constructive and do that under a barbell? You have some potential if you would just stop doung retarded sh!t.

I already tried it. I added weight to my pistol squats and got injury.

Well then you'll never progress. Cut the sh!t, get under a bar and do it right. You demonstrate a respectable amount of leg strength in that video. Use a reasonable weight, use common sense and you WILL NOT injure yourself. If you go full retard, you will hurt yourself.

And none of that "I listen to my body" sh!t. Your body wants to stay exactly as it is. You don't listen to your body in bodybuilding, you TELL your body what to do. That is what separates the men from the boys.

If I told my body what I want it to do, it would be ripped in pieces on the floor.
I will only add weights if I do superslow, otherwise I injure myself.

That mentality is just pure retardation. What tempo do you consider that in the video? The video you used a good speed.

[softpounder]

In that vid, your reps and form is excellent.

I don't understand.

How about doing a high bar backsquat with some low weights? I'm sure you won't injure yourself that way. No need heavy.

[Roidmonster55]

Like Softpounder said, you don't need spine crushing weight, that would be retarded. That's why it's called progression. If you puss out and shy away from weight, well you'll just waste another 12 years like you did.

Hell yeah brother. I am super weak and I leave my ego at the front door. I can only squat 105lbs (25lbs each side lololol..) but I'm dedicated to get some gains.

I deadlift 70lbs (12.5lbs each side) and I'm not ashamed. Light is okay.

[Roidmonster55]

Even if he has to use an empty bar it's more respectable than that stupid sh!t.

That is quick tempo, for high reps.

Seems that you insist to negotiate, argue, with useless references, clueless mind...and getting negged over and over again..though I haven't negged you yet so far.

What's the point of making a thread to ASK people for advice, when you're not even interested in it in the first place?

Seems that you are already decisive and have a target in mind, accordingly, I suggest you do whatever the f&!@@ you want to do, and stop bothering others with your mind blowing issues..

I used a 20 kg kettlebell and did 6 quick reps to eccentric failure, it was the first time I didn't get sore afterwards. It's not as intense as superslow. Quick pistol squats is more like jumping up, no real training of the muscle. Superslow trains the entire muscle and I get crazy sore for almost a week.

Before the 20 kg kettlebell, I used 6 kg in backpack, but it was hard to hold it, hard to keep balance.

[Patrick82]

OMG! This is amazing. On my left leg I can finally do a 10 sec slow upward rep, I couldn't do that before! My left leg has always been weaker than my right. Superslow is amazing for working away sticking points!

Yes, and 1 month rest needed between workouts. It works like miracle.

[Roidmonster55]

Superslow does not train the muscle. It tires the hell out of it, but not in that "awesome" way you think. You went from using nothing to a 20kg kettlebell. Use something lighter. It's not rocket science. It's called PROGRESSION.

One. Month. Rest. Is. Fukking. RETARDED!!

[softpounder]

If I rested for a month. I would ... lose all kinds of gains. If it works for you, then I am more than happy to hear so. But for 98,4232925205% of us, we can't do superslow and rest for a month, or we'd lose all kinds of gains.

Patrick, as much as you're a nice guy, I tried hard to give you some advices - tailored advices just for you. I find that we were in the same boat; we're boat weaksauces and we're not that strong strengthwise.

Resting for a month is like me staying at home doing nothing. Imagine me not being at the gym 4/5 days a week. I'd go crazy.

[Roidmonster55]

It looks like you've only got two of us still trying to help you.

Stop being a pussy. Get under a bar and squat. Muscles are forged in steel & iron, not from doing gay exercises.

this thread has been extremly comical.
Thanx for this guys
it made my night

p.s.... what does OP stand for?

[Roidmonster55]

An article from Men's health.

Lifting super slowly produces superlong workouts—and that's it. University of Alabama researchers recently studied two groups of lifters doing a 29-minute workout. One group performed exercises using a 5-second up phase and a 10-second down phase, the other a more traditional approach of 1 second up and 1 second down. The faster group burned 71 percent more calories and lifted 250 percent more weight than the superslow lifters.

The real expert says: "The best increases in strength are achieved by doing the up phase as rapidly as possible," says Gary Hunter, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., the lead study author. "Lower the weight more slowly and under control." There's greater potential for growth during the lowering phase, and when you lower with control, there's less chance of injury.

Are you going to arrogantly disagree with a Ph.D.? Or keep acting like a jackass?

OP , did you notice how despite superslow you look like any average male who has never touched a weight in his life?

[HulkingBrute]

Maybe reverse psychology works on this guy.

OP, I think out of shape dudes that do superslow and don't squat are fuarking hot! [YES homo]

If one month rest didn't work for me, I would become weaker, but instead I get stronger! That's the point of bodybuilding, to get stronger every workout.
If I rest less than 3 weeks, I get weaker!

It is retarded to rest too little so you get weaker every workout. It is best to rest long enough to get stronger every workout.

I already tried it. I added weight to my pistol squats and got injury.

What type of injury did you get?

If I told my body what I want it to do, it would be ripped in pieces on the floor.
I will only add weights if I do superslow, otherwise I injure myself.

You must be doing something wrong, if you add more weight to an exercise and/or do so called fast reps(2 sec up, 2 sec down) and end up injuring yourself. This is not normal.

It's also not normal to have to rest over 3 weeks between workouts, that you end up getting weaker if you train before that. Either you are injuring yourself every workout and your body needs 3 weeks to recover, or you must be deficient in your diet, sleep or maybe some type of stress.

Either way, you are one of a kind, a phenomenon.

A day after I did fast reps I could feel some kind of nerve damage deep into the bones, it reduced my strength by half. This has happened with both pistol squats and dips when moving fast. But with superslow I don't get this.
I have injuries in my body that have not healed after many years.
