True, i aim for 8-12 reps on most movements. I love the slow negative as i feel it is working very well for me, something ive never done before. I will change it up sometimes and take 30% of my 1RM and do 25-30 reps with it, steady med speed tempo. Man the pump is awesome. Im seeing results in my arms FINALLY by doing slower more controlled reps and slow negs.
