Penn St. - Slow Reps..

[BrandonXJ]

Just curious what these are really called? I know in HS we called them penn state lifts, I've heard slow reps.. for example if you were doing a dumbell curl you'd do a 5 second count on the negative phase and maybe a 3 count on the way up.. whatever they're called they hurt like hell after a while but they're good for some serious muscle fatigue!

some guy branded them 'superslow' once and it stuck... but those reps can go all the way up to 30 seconds on the negative

really 5 seconds isn't THAT slow.. IMO a negative should be 3 seconds anyway.. 5 seconds is a lot longer than most though yep
