exercise advice please

If I've got a workout routine lifting weights and I want to build muscle mass, what's better when lifting: lift fast or lift slow?

[Genecks]

Lift fast and bring back down slow.

 

If you can lift something in five seconds, bring it back down in ten seconds.

Talking about routines is like talking about politics: Everybody has his or her own view.

 

I perfer high intensity training.

 

If you lift slow, then you're going to waste some energy. The idea is to lift quickly, and lift slowly; thus, this creates better resistance. If you lift slowly, one could assume that you wouldn't have as much energy to slowly bring the weight down.
