7 (myths?) of body building
http://articles.health.msn.com/id/100101230/?GT1=6327
Most of their ideas seem pretty legit, and supported w/ good evidence. The reasoning for the first one, that lifting slowly does not work muscles better, is bs though. The only thing their reasoning proves is that if you lift slowly it burns more calories and your workout takes longer to complete. It doesn't disprove the idea that lifting slowly gives better gains.

Super slow training is a waste of time, contrary to what some believe on this forum.

I think you have their reasoning backwards.
"The faster group burned 71 percent more calories and lifted 250 percent more weight than the superslow lifters."
If anything, it is not reasoning, but results. I think more explosive positive phases work much better, as long as you still perform the movement correctly.

I only go slow on negatives. On concentrics I go slow enough to feel the lift.

I usually explode on the up phase and take it down slowly. Works well for me. Interesting read though.

what do you guys think about where they said that, "If you're working out hard, consuming more than 0.9 to 1.25 grams of protein per pound of body weight is a waste. Excess protein breaks down into amino acids and nitrogen, which are either excreted or converted into carbohydrates and stored." considering that most people will recommend 300+ grams of protein to everyone, even it they're 170lbs. according to the article, that person is wasting 87g's of protein a day then.

I have also seen thoses myths elsewhere, For good muscle defenition and mass you still need good form, i never add any amazing results lifting super slow.
I just do a regular 1 second up and 1 second down, make sure to feel the muscles that i am working and works fine that way.
