Fast vs Slow Reps Which Builds More Muscle

[carlajjjrr]

I’ve seen lifters moving slow and controlled and others going heavy with speed Which approach actually builds better size and strength

[Emma234]

I think it depends on your goal Slow and controlled gives you better mind muscle connection but faster reps help with power and strength I mix both in my workouts

[Miajjr2]

For hypertrophy time under tension matters Slowing down the eccentric really makes the muscle work harder Burns like crazy but worth it

[Theodore%tt]

I’ve grown more doing controlled reps with good form When I used to lift too fast momentum did half the work and I barely felt the muscle

[Charlotte98!!]

Fast reps are fine if your form’s tight Explosive training builds strength but if you’re chasing size focus on control and tension not speed

[Eleanor$$!!23]

Both have their place I’ll do slower reps on isolation moves like curls or laterals and faster ones on compounds like squats or bench

[Zoe!!43]

I tried super slow training once didn’t love it Felt more like endurance work than hypertrophy Moderate pace seems to be the sweet spot for me

[Ava643ffjj]

I use slow reps when I’m cutting to keep the muscle engaged and faster heavier reps when bulking Keeps training interesting too

[Richard456…]

Honestly consistency beats tempo As long as you’re adding weight or reps over time and keeping good form both styles can build muscle

I think you could probably google that
