@hybridcalisthenics: Why are slow reps harder? Every once in a while, "ultra slow" reps are introduced in some fitness circles as a fitness ideal. While these may have some benefits, many of the benefits of slow reps can be captured within a 1-2 second ascent and descent. I do find them useful for building control, so it's good to try and make sure we're *able* to do our reps under great control if we need it, but we don't necessarily need to practice this way. Minimizing momentum for controlled reps is usually enough. Have a wonderful day! #hybridcalisthenics

Slow reps (give or take 6 seconds) are better for tendon health. Slow reps of heavy weight, 50-70 seconds of time under tension is the best for tendon rehab

ive been bouldering for a minute now, so pullups are pretty second nature to me. i do multiple sets of 8 to warm up, sometimes to cool down after climbing, always feels good, even when doing weighted pullups. but yesterday after a somewhat hard session i just did 1 set of 8 real slow and controlled regular pullups. now everything hurts, my muscles are real sore, even like my pecs. what is up with that. my muscles havent been sore after pullups in like over a year

Here's my experience, when I was in high school I was in ROTC and was on the PT team, so Push Ups, Pull Ups, Sit Ups, and a run was the norm. I also focused on volume of reps during this time because it was as many as you can do in 2 minutes for each exercise except the run. When I was training and this time for speed I saw definition, but I did not see growth. It wasn't until years later when I was in the military that I started focusing on increasing time under tension and not so much volume that I started to see muscle growth. How does that play out?
