This can include things
like slower rep cadences (to increase time under tension), using bands / chains, drop sets, rest - pause sets, and forced reps.

*** Quick Notes on this method — It's important to focus in on QUALITY
reps NOT,
slow, grinding
reps — Just
like with Method # 1 — avoid pushing your body into failure when you're doing movements — there's a time and place for that which I go into more detail next...
That's when they start relying on techniques
like paused
reps, 1.5
reps, and
slow negatives, which make light weights feel more challenging and force you to dial in your lifting technique.
yea i was thinking a lot about that, in 2 weeks i will ramp up on barbell bench to 5
reps I'm kind of scared, it is a different excersise and i don't want to mess my pec up, btw i will post on my Facebook soon as i get 90s for 50 or if i can figure how to upload to u tube, il say this though for some reason i notice others on here have been making progress on adding
reps and weight, not at my pace but still impressive, when i used to do low
reps, progress was
slow as snails, the only complaint i have with the high
rep benching is that after 2 sets
like with 85 or even when i was a t 70 lbs to keep doing sets over 20 taxes my shoulders, this is why i do 2 sets now and go to inclines and anyway I'm trying to build the upper area anyway.
She then goes on to describe something called «high - intensity,
slow - motion strength training», in which you would do something
like, say, a machine leg press, but you'd only do one single set, and you would take a very long, drawn out, all - the - muscles - in - my - body - burning time to perform that set (e.g. nine
reps over three minutes), You'd then hit every other major muscle group, from upper body to core, with just one single, hard, teeth - gritting super
slow set and... voila.
Did you do a bunch of
reps in a
slow and controlled fashion with good form (or as good as you knew at the time), or were you
like me and went heavy with low
reps?
Like «a
rep per week or two»
slow.
