Controlling the negatives give you the benefit. Going slower decreases the number of reps you can do so you don't get much more eccentric work, but you get much less concentric. Concentric work should be done with as much speed as possible for maximum effect.

I hope you people realise soon that the only purpose this board serves is memes.

> genetics don't matter
they don't unless you compete and are already at elite level. 99.9% people here won't reach their genetic potential so it doesn't matter
>slow controlled negatives build more muscle than fast explosive reps
depends. i don't think enough study has been done into this type of thing. isometric holds do build muscle and hypertrophy
>there is a special rep range for strength and a special rep range for size
define size. there absolutely is if you are aiming for hypertrophy. for muscle gain it's a meme though
>strength and size are not closely correlated
they aren't. strength has a lot of other components other than muscle size. muscles are a small part of it
>doing cardio kills your muscle development
again depends on type of cardio. study showed that long endurance cardio does fuck with hypertrophy and strength gains
>it's good to feel drained after a workout
well you shouldn't feel relaxed. you should feel tired after a workout otherwise what's the point if you don't give it your all every time?
>bulking and cutting isn't hard on your health
meme science. you do realize that people who never track their calories are either cutting or bulking every day, right? nobody eats at maintenance all the time. TDEE varies every day
>being shredded as a natural isn't extremely bad for you
it's VERY hard to get under 8% as a natty let alone maintain it. why do you think so many people who are shredded have to use drugs?
>lifting will get you laid
it won't but it might just give you that final confidence boost that you need to finally talk to girls

Wanna explain how I'm wrong here?

How slow do you go? 1 second? 4 seconds?
The negative does not matter. Total training volume does. I don't see what's so hard to understand about this.
Tyler Miller
Just go slow, Idk why you gotta make it complicated.
If you just let the weight drop it will be due to gravity, not your muscles resisting it. That's makes a better use of your time for the movement
Don't drop the weight - go slow. Not so hard!

Who wants to bet that this dyel is also a yank?
>taking yank bait
ISHYGDDT but I will.
Any evidence to back up your outrageous claims?
What's that?
No?
Thought so, little man.

Yes they can build muscle and hypertrophy - as long as your sufficient training volume is met.
William Campbell
You do the same Work (movement) except it's more intense when you go slow on the negative and therefore build more muscle
