Lifting slow is killing your gains! Never do it on purpose. If your objective in the weight room is to build as much muscle and strength as possible then tempo lifting (deliberately slowing down the concentric and eccentric phases of your lifts) is not going to be congruent with your goal.
In this video I explain exactly why tempo lifting is a poor modality for strength and hypertrophy training, and what you should instead in order to maximize your gains.
