Slow down...IS IT THAT IMPORTANT

[inheritmylife]

I have been trying to make sure that on the majority of lifts, i do two seconds on the way down. What do you all think of this--what are the pro's cons..

People who only think about things in terms of weight will think that because he is doing a weight 8 times in an explosive manner, and you are moving the same weight 6-7 times with a 0-1-0-2 cadence, that you are weaker.

You're adding time under tension to your set. If you don't care about numbers, go for it. I suggest it if for only to prevent injuries.

The eccentric portion of the lift is where the majority of hypertrophy is attributed to.
