? for those that have done Lactic Acid Training

[cjrenick]

I have read two separate thoughts on this training. One is to do max reps like 20-30 at a normal lift speed or the other is to do like 10-12 reps with at least 4 seconds for the contraction with a quick drop. Which is the better way? Should this type of training be cycles like maybe do for 6 weeks then do something like density training? Read one article that said to do this training on a empty stomach. I always thought you fueled your body before workouts. So empty stomach or not?

Neither of those are really lactic acid training. The higher reps will train your muscle endurance and the lower ones will train strength.

But you shouldn't work out on an empty stomach. Being hungry won't help your training. It will just make you hit the wall sooner.
