What is the philosophy of SuperSlow®?
A. The philosophy is based on a theme first conceived by Arthur Jones who said, “Rather than attempting to find out how much exercise we can tolerate we should try to find how little exercise we actually require.” SuperSlow advocates define being “fit” as being strong and believe the safest, most effective and efficient way to building muscle is the SuperSlow approach: One-to-two full-body workouts a week, with each exercise working the muscles to failure and beyond. A minimum of 3 days is needed between workouts to allow the muscles to fully recover from the exercise. Rest and recovery is a key component to building muscles. SuperSlow High Intensity training is demanding in its approach. The intensity and approach has been proven to produce greater strength gains in less time over a six month study than traditional weight training.* It is work of a demanding nature that creates a stimulus that acts to produce these adaptive changes in the body. *(Westcott, W.
