Working With Weights ... SLOWLY (WAS: Question about weight)

[Guest guest]

Yes, I understand. The mainstream way is different than what I'm suggesting

here. Think, for example, of lightening the weight on a particular movement,

then taking a full minute to more through ONE repetition. Just experiment a

bit. I'll see whether I can't get some more info to look at.

Hi Elchanan,

No, I never heard of that type of an approach; however, I do try to do my

repetitions slowly; I never rush them. I do two sets of 25 on several leg

and upper body machines. I always do just one set and then move onto another

machine; in other words, I don't do two sets at one time.

 

I " m not exactly sure what you mean by " slow movement. "

Thanks,

Lynne

I'm willing to try that! It sounds a little bit like the yoga poses

that I do.

Thanks for the info!

There is a technique called Super Slow, Lynne. I couldn't think of it

earlier. Just google for more information on it. Try not to get

sucked into the hype about it, though. Just try it and see how your

muscle tissue breaks down faster and more evenly. It's also very safe

on your joints.
