Well, this is due to the lack of a negative movement. But, although you may not get sore, you will also probably not reach your full muscular development if that is what you desire. As this is getting long, I will continue into a third part and address the other differences between the training of Olympic lifters and bodybuilders and the applications for exercisers. Previously, I discussed why negatives seem to be responsible for muscle growth, some guidelines for incorporating negatives into your workouts, and some real world examples. Well, there is one other major difference between the style of lifting used.
Speed is irrespective, more or less, as the same mass is moved the same distance.
Ok, enough of that. Well, one of the primary differences between power and mass training is in the speed of movement. Generally speaking, bodybuilders tend to use a rather slow speed of movement. Well, depending on your fitness goals, you will generally want to choose one type or another of these two choices. If mass is your goal, slow movements with heavy weights and an accentuated negative is part of the prescription.
