When a muscle is pushed past total fatigue, by slow continual force, or weight resistance, a signal or ”stimulus“ is delivered to the body: ”Make more muscle.“ If the body is then given proper nutrition and adequate rest, it will produce more muscle. Muscle is, of course, the primary determinant of our shape. Time between workouts is physiologically essential for building lean muscle. You’re basically building muscle on the days between workouts.

So what’s this 20 minute workout like?
A typical SuperSlow workout involves four to six weight machines, each targeting a specific muscle group. Weights are slowly raised in 10 seconds and lowered in 10 seconds non-stop until the targeted muscles reach total momentary fatigue—about 1½ to 3 minutes per machine. The turning point comes when you try to push beyond total fatigue for an extra 10 seconds. That’s what triggers fast, noticeable improvement.
