Yes, it is not funny anymore when you realized you were wrong. I have shown proof from the beginning, but it has taken hundreds of posts until you understood it. But Roidmonster still doesn't get it, all that fast lifting damages the brain, he said it himself, his eyes pop when he lifts fast. When I do superslow, it is better for the brain.

Can't do high reps after starting superslow
Not surprised.
You did lose strength.
And it is normal to lose strength on super slow.
You get strong by working at high intensity(percent of max lift) for lower reps. Longer rests between heavy sets so you get your reps in decent form. It is not about pump and fatigue at all. Say 3 x 3 x 90% x 3-5 min rest.
You get strength endurance, and a lot of extra size, by working at somewhat lower intensity for higher reps. Shorter rests between sets because it is about pump and fatigue and conditioning for reps and volume. Say 5 x 10 x 60% x 1 min rest.
You get power by lifting fast, somewhat lower intensity. Say 8-10 x 1-3 x 60% x 1 min rest.
You get weaker and less powerful by working at really low intensity, and moving the weight slowly like a geriatric patient on rehab.
To rehab an injury, super slow might be useful to let you pump blood into the affected part to promote healing.Beginners:

Beyond novice, 5 3 1 or see above:)
Unless it is obvious to anyone who isn't blind that you lift weights, you might still benefit from a little more attention to big basic barbell exercises for enough reps:).

Jgreystoke, science, logic and basic human biology are nothing to OP. he spits in the face of them all. He will just take your intelligent post, and flip it around into some kind of justification to keep doing it. He's a f****** retard. We should just continue flaming him for the retard that he is. He isn't interested in debate or logic explanation. He's just a f****** retard.
OP GTFO, retard.Last edited by HulkingBrute; 12-27-2012 at 05:05 AM.

But I'm not using low intensity, the weight is so heavy it forces me to move slow, even when I try to move fast. With my superslow I use about 1-3 reps until I reach failure.
It's a bad idea to do multiple sets, I have tried it and it doesn't work. When training with proper intensity, doing more than one set is impossible. Mike Mentzer said that going from 1 to 2 sets is the worst mistake you can do.
I do only 1 set per muscle, and rest 1 month.
I did not lose strength, because after I made the switch from fast to slow reps, I started increasing my strength every workout. There is no indication of strength loss in my logs! There is only endurance loss. When I trained fast for high reps, it was only endurance, I see this now.

My body type was made for training with low reps. I remember when I started training 13 years ago, I could never get to 6 chin-ups. My body could only handle 5 chin-ups! I was stuck at 5 reps for half a decade! Then I bought a bike and started riding outside, I trained endurance, then like magic I went up to 20 chin-ups! But I hadn't got stronger at all. I had just adapted my body to handle higher reps. Then I stopped riding the bike for a few years, and my reps went down to 5-6 again. I started walking and running outside, I went up to 14 chin-ups. See the pattern?
During this time my strength and muscle size was the same, but I could do different amount of reps.
It makes sense that if I stop doing endurance training, the reps become lower. I have noticed this recently, I started running for 12 minutes before I did chin-ups, I was able to make a record after a couple workouts!
I will aim for low reps and increase weight, it suits my body type better. I will forget about the fast high reps. The reason the reps can be fast is because the weight is too low, if the weight is higher, it forces you to do superslow. I will do low reps 1-3 and superslow. These last couple months have been crazy gains!

ONCE AGAIN I AM TELLING YOU THIS.
if you like to do your ****, do your ****. no one gives a **** about it. just dont act like you are the one and everyone else is wrong.
of course you will get stronger. I get stronger by just running up and down stairs. doing something is better than doing nothing. not that its always the best way to do it but better than nothing.
if you like your superslow, fine. I like my regular lifting too.
now shut the **** up and let this thread die!

You troll and say my training doesn't work when it clearly does. I have said from the beginning that I get stronger from superslow, but you keep saying I don't. You keep saying that I need to go back to training like I did for the previous 12 years where I made no progress. This is very strange advice. For some reason you have decided from the beginning that superslow doesn't work, and you fail to listen to the evidence that proves otherwise.
