206: The Super Slow Protocol Weight Training Method
Are you ready for your mind to be blown? It seems like the trend today is that less is more. Sometimes you hear that phrase on this podcast, and sometimes you don’t. Today is one of those days. Owner/trainer, Owen Drolet, and one of his clients, ultra runner Brent Robertson (who appeared on TRLS Episode 117), discuss the following:
How to do slow-moving weight training exercises (a.k.a. the Super Slow Protocol)
Why to focus on quality instead of quantity
Why to train in a distraction-free, cool, 63-degree room for just 20 minutes once or twice a week
Why to focus on mastering yourself instead of the weights
What the history of Ken Hutchins and the Super Slow Protocol entails
Why to have a tempo of 10 seconds lift, 10 seconds return
How to fatigue your body
The difference between how you feel after a long run versus a 20-minute Super Slow Protocol workout
What difference this type of training has made for Brent
What the history of Nautilus® machines are and working with women with osteoporosis in the early 80s
The benefit of using refined, computerized biofeedback
Why working the anaerobic system through super slow movements is the equivalent of doing a round of wind sprints
Metabolic adaptation
What the mind-muscular connection is
Why what we’ve been doing is counterintuitive
Serena Marie, RD, and I discuss the following:
Her excitement about an upcoming trip to New Orleans
