gib65 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 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.
