Slow motion weight training out of Palm Springs? Doesn't seem to have been covered on this site which surprises me. Supposedly "high-intensity". Man if the fitness industry isn't proof PT Barnum was right I don't know what is

Super-Slow is decades old, bro. Late 1980s.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Slow
It was a fad for awhile. There were even Super-Slow gyms.

The concept of Slow (and different versions of) has probably been around since weight resistance first began. That could be thousands of years, weight lifting is nothing new in current to ancient history. . Can also link "Holds" to Slow, at any position of a lift. Slow,in it's true sense, would require strict by the book full reps. No cheating, half or partial reps. Slow up and Slow down.Time is another factor. The time taken to perform a complete slow rep is up to the individual doing the rep. From seconds to minutes.
Many different versions of Slow. Probably the most productive would be when they are added to Negatives, the lowering the weight back to it's original starting position. Negatives work extremely well with overhead presses, arm work and chins/pullups, if your weak in those exercise.
There is a system where Slow and Holds can be combined in the same exercise. Example being the old One and One Half system. Usually directed to arms, but can be applied to most any body part. Lateral raises, dips, squats, etc, etc, etc..
Example: Doing a strict BB curl, at the contracted top position of the curl, the bar is lowered half way down and stopped/held there for a count of usually 3 seconds. After which the bar is curled back up to the top contraction position. From there the bar is lowered slowly all the way back down to the starting position. The key point is that the complete curl is done slowly.
A light weight is advise if attempting this form of training. It can be a killer, including the pump.
Good Luck.

I have been doing super slow reps for my first set, medium speed for 2nd set and rapid (explosive) speed for 3rd set. Works really well. Would never make a full program out of super slow.

I absolutely recall reading articles about it in the eighties.

Super slow was what Ken Hutchins came up with for a twist on Arthur Jones one set to failure on his machines. Hutchins wanted the rep slowed to a ridiculous level. He took Jones's MedX machines and modified the cam. Jones was furious with this and he also said he never recommended super slow reps. In some cases 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down. Ken Hutchins talked about training like he had all the answers but he looked out of shape.
It's good training protocol for rehab but where in sports do you do any training super slow?

There is nothing new in training.
It's all been done before 1960.

I've been in gyms for around 40 years and never seen anyone actually do it for their workout, regardless of all these claims that someone may have done a set or two slowly.

Maxalding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Maxalding is an exercise system of muscle control using a form of isometrics. Books and pamphlets teaching the system were first published in 1909 and continued until Maxalding ceased to trade in the late 1970s.

System
The Maxalding system, like the "dynamic tension" system of Charles Atlas and those of others, did not use weights. Where the other systems concentrated on muscle development, Maxalding went one stage further and taught muscle control. The methods taught had been around since the early 1900s and indeed many of the photos used in the instruction leaflets, even those sold in the 1970s, date from that period. Some exercises of Maxalding, involving isolating the muscles of the abdominal region, are similar to the yoga exercise of nauli. The methods of centralisation and central isolation of the abdominals and other exercises must have seemed revolutionary when first released and do not seem to be generally advocated elsewhere so would seem novel even today.[citation needed]
Founders
Maxalding (originally called Maxaldo) was a name created from those of the founders, Maxick (Max Sick) and Monte Saldo (Alfred Montague Woollaston), and first came into being in 1909.
Maxick was an Austrian strongman. He was born in Bregenz in Austria on June 28, 1882,[1] and moved to Britain in 1909, where he met Saldo. He died in Buenos Aires on 10 May, 1961 after a wrist-wrestling match. The Maxalding principles are based mainly on exercises and techniques which appeared in his book Muscle Control, written in 1911.
Saldo was apprenticed to Eugen Sandow in 1897. He took his stage name at the turn of the 20th century while touring Europe demonstrating strength and gymnastics. He was also an artist's model and in 1914 published a book called How to Pose. He provided the financial means of promoting Maxick's methods and starting the Maxalding postal course. His son F. H. C. Woollaston took over, using the professional name of Courtlandt Saldo. He carried on the business until sometime in the late 1970s. Courtlandt Saldo died in 1983 at the age of 72.

I'm not watching any of the videos, but nothing in that Maxalding excerpt showed it was someone doing sets super slow.

Maxalding was done at normal speed.

Truthfully to get huge you need to train like Branch/Ronnie (as fast as humanly possible with heavy ass weight)

You don't have to train heavy if you are on gear.

Heavy weight is relative......lets not forget that.
Not all of us can squat 800 pounds.............205 may be as heavy as 800 for you personally.
