    Rep Time

    When You Guys Are Working Out What Is The Ideal Rep Speed? Does It Depend On The Exercise Or Bodypart? I Know Most People Say Something Like 2-2-1 But I Rarely Ever See Anyone In The Gym Going Slowly Through The Motions.

    i was at the gym and a trainer told me the same thing. he told me to lower the wt and flex thru the whole movement on every exersise i do. i tried it for bi's and it burned em' up. he said it torces more muscle fibers. try it for tri's and bi's for a couple w'o's youll be surprised how you lower your wt also. he said that it doesent mean u r weak either. try it man.
