Episode 2624:

Christian Finn of MuscleEvo.net breaks down the efficacy of super slow training for muscle growth, revealing that despite its claims, this method often falls short of traditional training in delivering superior muscle size and strength gains. Citing multiple studies, Finn underscores that traditional speed training consistently outperforms super slow techniques in both strength and hypertrophy, making it the more effective choice for fitness enthusiasts.

Quotes to ponder:

"Training at very slow speeds is suboptimal for maximizing gains in muscle hypertrophy."

"Muscle fiber size increased by an average of 39%, compared to an increase of just 11% in the slow speed group."

"Despite the big difference in time under tension, the slow speed group gained less muscle than the group using a traditional lifting speed."
