Super Slow Weight Lifting

Jan 08, 2012 15:18

Pull-down (or alternatively chin-up)
Chest press
Compound row (A pulling motion in the horizontal plane)
Overhead press
Leg press

Here's a summary of how to perform each exercise:
Begin by lifting the weight as slowly and gradually as you can. The first inch should take about two seconds. Since you’re depriving yourself of all the momentum of snatching the weight upward, it will be very difficult to complete the full movement in less than 7-10 seconds. (When pushing, stop about 10 to 15 degrees before your limb is fully straightened; smoothly reverse direction). Slowly lower the weight back down
