Has anyone ever tried this? If you've read Body By Science it basically follows the same principles in that book, extremely slow reps until muscle failure. I tried this with a few classic body weight exercises and couldn't even make it to five reps so it definitely felt like a good workout.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Dont know if it would work or not, all I can say is whatever program you choose has to be geared towards your personal goal.
For example, I'm a amateur powerlifter, I'm gonna choose a program that fits that specific need and base my training off that. You just need to find something you believe in, stick with it for awhile and bust your a$$. If the program isnt working, dump it and try something else.
Good Luck!

I just want to get stronger and build muscle. I plan on doing it for at least two months and if I see results I'll continue.Krueg said:

Yeah I regularly do bodyweight exercises(ex gymnast), what would you like to know? Keep in mind bodyweight exercise won't get you a whole lot of bulk but you'll get more stamina than people who only lift heavy. As for the slow reps, what are you trying to achieve? If you train slowly your muscles will be slower.JoeMarron said:
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
From what I've seen gymnasts have excellent muscle tone so I'm not worried about missing out by not weight lifting. I'm following this guy's advice http://baye.com/what-is-high-intensity-training/. Slow reps make it harder therefore more beneficial. It felt like a much harder workout taking my time vs doing a ton of reps. I don't see why training slowly would result in slow muscles. If the muscle is stronger then it should be able to move faster regardless of how it was trained.TheCleanPleb said:
What about the Central Nervous System? If you train slowly, you will be used to doing slow, deliberate reps. On the flip side, take something like Olympic Lifting...it's one of the most explosive sports there is, and Olympic Weightlifters do thousands upon thousands of explosive movements to solidify those motor pathways.JoeMarron said:
So I think when it strictly comes to muscles...you're right, they can't differentiate between what kind of stimulation they're getting, they just respond and grow.
The CNS is not that way though. The CNS determines which fibers and how many to recruit during a movement based on what it is used to doing.
Strong broscience, I know

Body by science is a load of bullsh1t pseudoscience, sorry mate. There's a good reason no elite athletes etc use itJoeMarron said:

You will get slower the more mass you put on. Think about it like this, the more mass your arm has, the more energy it's going to take to swing it and the more time it'll take to cover and area. That's why you see super fast olympic sprinters that are shredded but not huge and the worlds strongest man filled with giants that usually aren't as shredded but hurl rocks. There's two types of muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch muscle fibers store more oxygen better and because of this, they have better stamina. Fast twitch fibers are made to work really hard for short bursts, which results in better speed. Slower lifting helps develop muscular stamina and almost directly targets your slow twitch fibers.
Slow twitch, this guy is ****ing yoked!
Fast twitch
That wasn't stated in the original post, that's why I asked Joe what his goal was.TheStig said:
I have little knowledge on this subject besides the link that I posted earlier so I'm not going to try to debate it. I'm not an athlete so I don't care about speed. I merely want aesthetics and to stop being weak as hell. I know few people take bodyweight training seriously but since I can't be bothered to go to the gym this is my only option. Right now I'm 6'2 and a mere 140 pounds. Given my situation I figure just about any exercise will at least have some decent noob gains.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

kk, do what ever you wish. Just know that nutrition is just as important as the the workout itself and if you want to put on serious mass you're going to need to take in a surplus of Cals. This is hard work.JoeMarron said:

I don't know anything about Body by Science but ever since my back surgery in 2008 I have a new appreciation for only doing what your body can handle. That's why I stick to bodyweight only exercises. Plus, I don't want to pay for a gym. I can do push-ups and pull-ups at home. I also do bodyweight squats and a bunch of other movements. I have a few small dumbbells at home that I throw in every now and again.
