Also wondering..why the slower speed? So as to not cause injury or does the slower speed help with bone building?

I don't have the book anymore, so I don't remember. The info in the book is from 2006, so I'd look for something more up to date. Margaret Martin's Melioguide tends to keep up with the latest exercise and nutrition info for bone health:

The slow speed is better for safety and for muscle/bone building. Most heavy strength training workouts have longer rests in between sets, likes the third mesocycle of Cathe's STS.

While I like Susie's workouts, I tend to not reach for them often. I like the University Place one enough that I'd do it regularly.

She does give good form pointers.
