The research really points to explosive action phases(the part of the movement that contracts the muscle) and slow, controlled negative phases produces the most stimulation and growth.
But beginners should always just go the slow route to build up the strength of ligaments and other connective tissues.

Reply to comment by dfreinc in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]
