NOT A PROFESSIONAL – MODIFY AS NECESSARY
3 Keys to Mastering Slow Strength Training
Tension: How long they kept force applied against the muscle. Speed: The cadence at which they raised and lowered the weight.
Failure: Final reps should be a battle. Failure is growth – Muscles shake, don’t break WARM UP: –

Failing in life is how you learn and grown, without any setbacks, there can be no come back
