Default Slow Training

I build my muscle using this method after i stopped my training for a period of time due to other commitments. Sharing here to see if it can benefit others.

To jump-start stalled results, give slow training a try: Half the weight, one-tenth the speed, half the time in the gym. Focus on the muscles, not the weights; it's a mind/muscle connection. Only 2 sets, only 6 reps each. 10 seconds for positive contraction, 10 seconds for negative contraction. No pause in the middle, no pause in the end. Stop short of locking joints and don't rely on momentum to move the weight. Don't relax. It's about the quality of your workout, not the quantity. It's about strength. Increase your weight weekly. The slower you go, the more challenged certain muscle recruitment patterns become. Slow training puts more stress on your muscles, taking them to a higher level of fatigue. You will need a Zen-like focus and a tolerance for muscle discomfit. But believe me, the time and effort you spent doing this will be well worth it.
