This week i am slowing things down

Here are 2 videos of me training the muscle up, applying something like a neuro-muscle technique. In these workouts am trying to move as slow as possible, holding the muscle up movement up and down until my body, grip, muscles are all shaking. My plan is to add more time under tension each day, seeing how long i can hold these slow movements.

Video #1 is 3 min rep assisted with standing on my feet and giving as much wweight as i can while going slow up and slow down, holding a false grip on the rings, trying to stay completely relaxed in all the muscles that usually tense up and try to have minimal strain in the elbow/shoulder that has been strained the last couple weeks.

Video#2 is a 3 min rep upside lifting 5 lb weights up and slowly letting it down. For 3 min this started to burn and make my body shake. Focusing again on staying relaxed in extreme tension.

The neuro/nervous system training video talks about this method, I have only just heard about this but it sounded interesting and different and thought maybe it could help undo a repetitive pattern that keeps showing up in sports, rock climbing, weight training and work-life, pretty much everything.

The technique is uses slowing down movement as one way to hyper focus on what you are doing, very intentional how you are moving, how to be as efficient working only the optimal muscles.

Let me know if anyone else has tried anything like this?
