Super Slow Training (Lift Smarter, Get Stronger)

Integrating Super Slow Training into your workouts is an incredible way to break through plateaus, get stronger, avoid injury, and keep yourself more motivated at the gym. In this video we break down the foundations of slow lifting, explaining what it is, how it helps, who can benefit from it (spoiler alert... everyone!), and how best to integrate it into your workout regime whether you're a beginner or a seasoned weight lifter. Super slow lifting refers to slowing down your movements so that each rep takes 10 - 20 seconds to complete. This allows you to get a killer workout with much lighter weights than we're used to, which means you can push yourself to pure failure with MUCH less stress on the joints. The benefits of slow reps are myriad. For beginners or for older folks, it allows you to learn proper form and push yourself hard in workouts without risking injury. For experienced lifters, slow lifting can help break through plateaus, increase your Time Under Tension, improve your form, act as a powerful warm-up before heavy lifting, and is also a great way to milk some extra gains out of the end of a workout. For example, the Aamir Khan transformation that we shared in our recent video, "Torturing Aamir Khan," included footage of Aamir performing super slow pushups with a 20kg plate on his back. While we could have added another plate and continued at a traditional speed, that amount of weight could potentially lead to a wrist or elbow injury, especially since Aamir was (rather unbelievably) 48 years old at the time. So instead of adding more weight, we simply slowed down the last set, taking him far beyond where he could have gone with heavier weights. Super slow weight training is also a great option if you're tired, whether that's due to a monster cardio session, intense lifting the day before, or simply a lack of sleep. Rather than pushing yourself toward potential injury, days like this are the perfect opportunity to rock a super slow workout. You'll still get all the gains you’re after, while avoiding overtraining and potential injury. To be clear, in this video we are not presenting the "Superslow Zone" workout, which is a specific workout approach in which all exercises are performed slowly. While the studies have shown this form of training to be effective for certain populations (generally older folks), it has not shown to compare favorably to traditional lifting for gains in the majority of the population. So in this video, we break down a variety of different ways to integrate super slow lifting into your workout, allowing you to maximize your gains and enjoy more exciting dynamic workouts.
