We have been experimenting with super slow training on Flex Friday aka Arm Day. The feel is much deeper than the normal pump burn and it's just plain ole different which makes it fun.
If you try it, be warned that it takes a tremendous amount concentration and focus...which is also really cool. (or at least I think it is)
The objective is to move the weight as slow as possible without it "jerking" along the path.
This week's goals were to pick a weight where temporary failure was reached somewhere between five and eight reps. Remember, this is about increased time under that tension
If you get eight or more reps, in set number one, go up in weight
If you don't get five reps, Go Down in weight
Here's the exercise order:
Rope Tricep Push down
BB Curl
DB Supine Tricep Extension
DB Curl
C/S Tricep Kick Back
Concentration Curl
Again, no bike commute with the unbreathable air quality. (this nonsense is getting old)
Plus the normal rehab/prehab:
AirDyne: 22 minutes
