Rep speed

[swimmingisgreat]

[FONT=&quot]I’ve always thought that you get more from slow controlled reps, besides calves and abs, are there any muscle groups that you like to do faster reps on?

[FONT=&quot]Asking this because lately I see so many Instagram videos of people doing bicep curl reps at the speed of sound. So it had me wondering if it’s not a bad idea every once in a while. Also I saw a guy break the sound barrier at the gym the other day on triceps but I’ve already decided he was an idiot before that........[/FONT]

All things being equal - slower is better.

don't pay attention what people do on instagram.

Yeah its better to be doing slow contracted repetitions instead of trying to be sonic with your reps.

Stop watching instagram. It's nothing but a shitshow for the fitness world

If you are doing reps, slow controlled movements will best serve you. When practicing singles for heavy max lift attempts, an explosive movement is sometimes more ideal depending on the person.

Overthinking again...
