The music is pretty sweet.
But I always thought adding extra resistance to quick skilled movements just trained you to slow them down. True?

yes and no.
Practicing a football throw with a standard dumbbell at slow speeds? yes, retarded.
From what I understand, young pitchers will sometimes throw weighted baseballs, OR sometimes lighter ones, to develop arms speed.
Elite printers use weighted sleds from time to time....but this practice goes away closer to the competitive season/peaking.
Olympic lifters will do slower pulls to improve faster pulls.
Either way, that machine is gay, and probably costs as much as 3 or 4 standard powercage-oly-platforms ....which, they have promised to get.
In a corner of the gym, they have a little kiosk or posterboard display, of all these cage-platforms "coming soon!!!"....
...its been months and month now to no avail. And then this recycled-car-assembly-line-robot-thing shows up!
