An entire system of training has been based on this apparently cool new observation, the hook being the fatigue produced by the slow movement and subsequent lactate accumulation. However, we are trying here to learn how to lift the most weight, not a little weight in as inefficient and uncomfortable a manner as possible

Take a look at this. Great channel.
I think taking 30 seconds to do a rep is probably too much, but doing it fast completely ignores the time under tension factor...
If you're training for muscle growth you can't ignore it.
Olympic lifts are already slow. A deadlift or squat or press set of five may take you 1-2 minutes to complete. There is no need to slow it down any farther.
I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.
