The “Go Slow Myth” has reared its ugly,
worthless head from time to time in every gym
in America. You’ve heard the spiel: “Do each rep
slowly, feel the burn!” All over the place you see
guys counting during reps, “Two counts up, four
counts down.” Hell, with some guys I can’t tell
whether it’s live or the slow-motion replay! You’ll
notice, too, that most of the guys doing reps the
slow way are also growing the slow way. It’s time
to speed it up, guys. There’s no 55 mile an hour
speed limit on reps. Hit the accelerator!
Your muscles were designed for speed. If
prehistoric humans moved as slowly as the “slow
burn” guys in the gym, they’d have all been tiger
bait, and we wouldn’t even be here. Muscles being
trained react well to speed. The faster you can
move the weight through space, the more stress is
applied to the muscle. And what makes muscles
grow? Stress! It’s a simple equation: More stress
equals more muscle.
Think about those super-slow reps for a moment.
Sure, you get a burn from slow reps, but the burn
is simply a build-up of lactic acid and has little to
do with muscle development. Hey, Jane Fonda is
famous for feeling the burn, and how would she
do in the Ms. Olympia contest? Doing slow reps
just for the burning sensation hinders your growth
in two ways. Muscle stimulation depends on load
(amount of weight) and speed of contraction. When
you do slow reps, you must use lighter loads than
normal, depriving you of one major condition for
growth. The slow speed of the contraction also
works against you. The white, explosive muscle
fibers have great potential for growth, but they
can’t ever be fully taxed if you don’t use explosive
moves.
In order to maximize your growth, do each
rep as quickly as possible while still maintaining
proper form. Don’t get sloppy in your search for
speed, or you’ll wind up on the injury shelf. Also,
sloppy speed can lead to increased momentum,
which, of course, eases the stress you’re working to
create. (You may, however, increase momentum at
the end of a set, squeezing out ballistic, “cheating”
reps.)
