Can't do high reps after starting superslow

[Roidmonster55]

OP is using circular logic here.

OP: How can I get better gains with superslow?

Everyone: Superslow doesn't work

OP: But I really want it to work, so how can I make it work?

Everyone: It doesn't work

OP: I want it to work, so will someone please tell me that it does?

Everyone: It doesn't work

OP: It DOES work! I need someone to tell me that it does!

This type is best not argued with.

I'm not having issues with superslow, it works great for gains, but when I switch back to fast reps, I can't do as many anymore. I want to know the explanation for this. I think it's because with fast reps you train explosiveness. I don't use explosiveness in anything, so training quick is useless for me.

Gains in what.

[Patrick82]

Now that's some grade-A trolling. I commend you.

Why is it troll?

[Patrick82]

Gains in what.

Gains in muscle size and strength. I look at clock on computer so it gets very exact. My logs show strength and size improvements with superslow. But with standard quick training, I was always stuck at the same rep count, I could never improve.

Some people think that your arguments are ridiculous to the point of which they can't be serious.

Sweet. Did it make your penor bigger?

I asked for the explanation why I can't do many reps anymore. It's not possible that I have lost strength. Because when I switched to superslow I couldn't do a single rep! And now I'm 3 times stronger after a couple months. I notice strength improvements when I walk up stairs too, I don't feel weaker in any muscle after I started superslow, I feel stronger. But when I attempt quick reps, I can't do many anymore.

I am always serious.

[Patrick82]

Rest a few months then try again

I think that to keep the explosiveness, you need to train more often. Otherwise the muscles revert to standard speed.
I have had very erratic gains with fast training, sometimes I could do 10 reps, sometimes 8 etc, it went back and forth the whole time. It never went forwards consistently. I think it's because with fast reps it's mostly the technique that decides how many reps you can do, not the strength. It's hard to measure strength with fast reps. But with superslow I know exactly how much I improve in strength, because I take technique out of the equation.

If "superslow" works as well as you claim, maybe you should try "Incrediblyslow." You do just one rep, but make it last all day.


You'll be jacked in no time.

but don't forget to take a year off inbetween.

I have found that 10 secs is best if you have injuries, both slower and faster is bad. I have tendinosis from having trained too much with fast reps. 10/10 secs works like magic for me, no pain!
I found someone who trains 60/60 sec chin-ups, it clearly works.

Maybe for that guy.

You don't look like him at all.

But if I continue with my superslow I will. I have trained too fast for 12 years with no results. I should have continued with superslow from the beginning.

??? So you're saying that your avatar displays the results of twelve years of "training?"




A year from now, you'll post a thread just like this one, but with some other whack 'method' as the topic. And you'll still look just like you do today.


Unless your goal is to remain the same as you are or worse, stop this foolishness, head for the 'workout programs' forum, and pick a beginner bodybuilding program from the stickies, and get started.

Carry on.
Seems the results come "superslow" as well...

[speedjason]

With quick I mean 2 sec up, 4 secs down. Or 3 secs up, 5 secs down. Superslow is 10 secs up, 10 secs down.

I dont know about you but I find holding breath for 10 sec doing presses and deadlifts impossible. unless you just using sissy weights.

Yes, 12 years of training that others recommended. The standard quick lifting. I have tried all the beginner programs, they don't work for me. A year from now I will have huge muscles if I continue with superslow, I can feel it.

[Roidmonster55]

I am at a loss for words right now.

[ironwill2008]

Now I'm not sure if you're a troll or just a little slow on the uptake, but I like your enthusiasm.

When I started with superslow 13 years ago I made crazy gains, but then I switched to faster reps and made zero gains in size, but I could do more reps. Few months ago I switched to superslow again and now I can't do many reps anymore, but I notice huge gains in size, just like 13 years ago.

Here's a reality check.

The only "huge gains" your body has seen training the way you do, is on your belly.

-------------------------------

OP I went from 127 to 215 pounds in <2 years not going superslow, or slow, or almost slow. You did it wrong, and you still want to do it wrong.

Get off the forums so you can go lift for once, and stop training in the dumb way you are trying to do it.

This is the problem with as$holes who come up with bunk exercises. You get people like OP who are just absolutely convinced that it will work. Maybe I'm in the wrong business.

When I tried the way others recommended, I gained 10 kg fat and no muscle. I did multiple sets, fast reps, twice a week. I ate a lot of protein and food, it didn't work. Then I listened to my body and now I finally grow, and now you want me to go back to before?

I know what to do! come up with the latest "NO LIFT AT ALL!" program.

you never said how much weight you were lifting. if you just picking up and putting down 5lbs DB's of course you will never see progress. you need to do your research first.

It requires no equipment! Hey, let's make a demonstration video!

I do chin-ups and dips in forest, pistol squats at home. I don't use weights for them. Weights are dangerous.

weights are only as dangerous as the person who's using them.

This is the greatest thread to end 2012 with.

[DerekEt]

I can confirm, this is the worst thread I have seen in my entire life.
