"You hold in your hands the updated version of the SuperSlow technical manual. For those who have read the original technical manual, you will note that very little has changed with regard to exercise technique and theory; this is as it should be... human anatomy and physiology should not change like fashion styles. What those with prior background in SuperSlow will notice is even greater detail in describing the fundamental concepts underlying SuperSlow exercise philosophy. Also, there is an expanded discussion of EIH (exercise-induced headache) and how the mechanism behind this problem may be why SuperSlow is the best form of cardiovascular conditioning possible. Finally, dietary and hormonal issues are discussed in great detail. For those of you new to the SuperSlow technical manual...all I can say is get ready for a life-changing event"

"Ken, you've done a terrific job on this manual. This manual should be a 4-week course in the 1st year of every Medical School, Chiropractic School, and PT School in the U.S. Congratulations on providing a road map for us all, so that we can prescribe exercise with the same precision that we prescribe medications."
Philip Alexander, M.D.
"This manual represents over 30 years of the wit and wisdom of Ken and Brenda Hutchins, Founders of SuperSlow. Their style is conversational and storytelling. We are fortunate to have an updated chronicle of their journey to understand a true definition of exercise. They have been in the arena, learned from Trial and Error and applied thought and scientific method to reach their conclusions. We risk much to ignore their experience. SuperSlow is an effective, time wise and safe strategy to combat Sarcopenia as we age, which is a direct contributor to the obesity and disability epidemics we face today."
Charles B. Christian, Jr., M.D.
CardioThoracic Surgeon Medical Director, Inside Outside Wellness Center and Day Spa
"The Superslow Manual is a must read for anyone interested in strength training and strength training equipment. Ken Hutchins' unique observations, personal experience, and background give this manual a depth I've never seen in any exercise publication and contribute meaningfully to this comprehensive analysis of the Superslow exercise philosophy. Ken's perspectives and theories are logical and thought-provoking. They prove we in the field have a long way to go in fully understanding exercise and its application. I can't wait forpart two!"
Philip Blount, M.D.
"The SuperSlow Exercise Protocol Manual is the foundational text for a rational approach to exercise. Defining exercise and distinguishing it from the endless array of recreational pursuits and fitness fads is essential for 'exercise science' to live up to its name and mandate. Any exercise or rehabilitation professional concerned with safe physical development must consider the theory presented herein. Serious reflection will no doubt compel much-needed changes in practice."
