My weight lifting routine used to be 3 sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise. Then I switched to a very slow lift taking 14-20 seconds to complete each exercise and then do this without stopping to muscle exaustion. Now,I start off using regular speed, go to a very slow speed and then switch to a lighter weight and go to exhaustion without stopping.
My objective is not body building but just to get in shape for other sports.
yes this a.m did 80 minutes. over sleep 140 minutes. 8/14= 4/7 double your rest time so if you work 8 h travel time 3h sleep 8 h 19/24 5 h= 1 hour wts sleep = 10 2 h to run
endurance = many reps light weights speed = many fast reps light weights. strength=heavy weights few reps. Books numerous on body building.
I run first then lift when lift first then run rips big leg an back. when after lift. not run. I run at end.
found run before take 90% lift before take 40%
so was sent to girl area in lift. fell off house too.
w I well never do gym again. unless I get a job that well pay money. havent found one in 4 to 5 years. Butt I know were the bull is. thee big $ me slave. and I get abused. and no job...... no unemployment no zero Die Die Die...... 3 feet of snow near zero temps. strong winds. white out in light. no glass. zero 10¢ cans. spring soon in march 21 2005. I wait it out. no replies. no one at golf offices for hire. no ne factory built yet for car jobs sent... no returns still use to it. allrady sent a zillion times. and rd tape. all my fault. a lot of irs bills now to come again. I not die...... I just learn to smile while every one else die butt face wheeler. Lowtuc.

Any suggestions? Any research done on this?

Don't overcomplicate things, try 2 sessions a week, one light weights, one heavy. Make it so that they don't interfere with your running or recovery from running. Don't bother with things like 'flies', they're all just for making your muscle stand out. Get lifting, squats and bench for you jack...
Super slow lifting is the new thing. There are some new exercise places around there that feature just that. The rationale is that working your muscles to exhaustion with slow lifts gets you in shape faster and with less time invested than the traditional 3 rounds of 8-12 reps for each exercise. I know of no research that says super slow is better or worse than the old way.

I happen to like flies; they're good for the shoulders, back, and back of the shoulders and that's good for running as well. You don't just run with your quads and calves...
you must be quite the sight running down the path on your hands.

Supposedly Hugh Jackman bulked up and got his well chiseled physique by doing slow lifts for his role of Wolverine in X-Men.
From a sport performance standpoint, slow makes little sense. You do not want slow movements during performance. In fact, most of the time you want to speed up the movement (this does not mean getting sloppy and dangerous with technique).
bad mistake. next thing you know. there well be kids, a house, bills a boss. and latter. well wait. it never ends........
and then die...... and still on planet. great I can do any thing I want to. No Boss No work No money and I can evan call you all cheap low mileage A ) 0 (......... an you do zero too. just like I need a job and you think I am a comedean. lift weights.
sure. why not. butt don't take the fly. un less your a pro and make millions. then it is o.k.

Interesting article. Thanks. I need to reread it. The article says intensity during super slow lifts is less than regular. That has not been my experience. Try it yourself. Do 10 seconds contracting and 5 seconds expanding for 8-10 reps. According to my HRM, my HR goes higher on super slow than regular. Intensity might be defined differently in the article than I define it myself.

Nope, flies are for shaping your pecs.
Nope. They also work the shoulders and can be used to specifically target shoulders, rotator cuff, and back.

Well, does anyone here want to get bulked up?
Not all runners must necessarily look like a pogo stick 🙂

Ok, you're talking about 'flies' other than lying back on the bench then. In any case, flies are not for developing power or endurance, they're just for shaping muscle. For running the best weights are always lifting, flies are strictly for bodybulding. That's my opinion anyway.

Yes, but those also still work the shoulders...

Any weight bearing exercise can be used for developing endurance vs. building muscle mass.

It's a wrong presumption. "Bodybuilding" is sport unto itself (usually involving steriods, if I'm not mistaken.) But the general exercises are often the same whether sculpting or strength/endurance training.
