Cool. Thanks for the note.

During training, I find it more challenging to execute movements slowly or to hold positions for some time as compared to dynamic movements.

Would it be correct to say that there is more muscle development when you hold positions for some time than doing dynamic movements like in the cases of doing variations for planking?

Right. When you do slow reps, your muscle is fully contracted, reducing the income of oxigen to the muscle and preventing lactid acid to go out of the muscle. This is the perfect equation hypertrophy!

Thank you for the explanation! I'm a fitness enthusiast but since I didn't have formal education for it, I'm not yet well-versed with the more technical things.
