Difference of Slow Burn and Traditional Weight Training

Traditional Weight Training involves lifting light to moderately heavy weights  in sets of 8-12 repetitions (that number can vary). A typical repetition may take 3-7 seconds. This is a great way to add muscle, strengthen bones and burn fat.

Slow Burn or Slow-Motion Weight Training takes the same exercises and simply performs them in slow motion - with each repetition taking anywhere from 20-35 seconds to accomplish. Obviously the number of repetitions will be much lower.

The advantage of Slow Burn is that your workout will only take about 10 minutes! Will you get the same result? I have found through my research that you will indeed add muscle mass, but you will not acheive a "ripped" appearance like that of a body builder. I know some might disagree with me on this and hey! I hope I am wrong too! I would love to have better muscle definition. This is what I am working on now in my own exercise routine. Two days per week I am doing some slow motion weight lifting and making the  older population at my gym scratch their heads! They probably look at me lifting weights at a snail's pace and feel really good about themselves. Whatever it takes....
