Reply With QuoteSo 10 rep sets with a 60 second TUT. I believe 45 seconds or somewhere thereabouts was estimated to be optimal for mass, for those who believe TUT and not rep count is the "magic key" - which also means for those who seem to believe there is a magic singular key.
I knew a guy in high school who trained very slowly and deliberately, Francois Benfatto trained that way as well and they were both well developed (and both juiced...)
P.S. A lot of women I have met are actually quite fond of developed legs on a male.
What's your guys' opinion on this matter?

What's your guys' opinion on this matter?
I was reading an article on a guy who went from being an average guy with a little bit of a spare tire goin on to a Chippendale's dancer in 6 weeks. This isn't what caught my attention, rather the workout the trainer put him on.
Note: this routine was to shape up, and to gain 10-12 lbs. But, she put him on a program for six weeks where he did medium weight and repped for 60 seconds in each set, lowering or lifting the weight 3 seconds down, 3 seconds up -- constant tension. Here was his routine (of course along with proper diet as well):
Day 1 - Chest/Shoulders
Bench press - 60 sec, 3 sets
DB Inc. press - 60 sec, 3 sets
DB Mil. press - 60 sec, 2 sets
Tric. exten. - 60 sec, 2 sets
Day 2 - Back/Biceps
Lat pull-down - 60 sec, 3 sets
Seated row - 60 sec, 3 sets
Shrug w/ cable - 60 sec, 2 sets
Biceps curl - 60 sec, 2 sets
Day 3 - Rest
Day 4 - Supersets
Bench + Lat PD
DB In.Press +Seated Row
DB Mil. Press + Shrug
Tric. exten. + Biceps curl
Day 5 - Cardio + Abs
Day 6 - Start over again
Now, I know some of the exercises may seem like weak sauce, and the lack of legs is ridiculous. Other than that, does it even sound decent?

I might give that type of training a try...it just seems like it would make sense. And I agree about the legs thing, which is why I work mine hard as hell...I love leg day, best physical exertion there is IMO.

For hyperthrophy reasons only, I guess it's pretty decent. I bet the guy was juicing though.
For overall fitness, it's pretty horrible. Not enough back work, lousy split, no leg work, too much isolation work and the inclusion of supersets in a workout for a beginner.

I have tried a slow tempo before, and yes, it delivers results, but fast and explosive delivers results too, I think it's good to experiment with different styles of training. The way I see it, if it delivers results, it's all good...
