Super Slow is working pretty well for me, although I haven’t been at it very long yet. The biggest advantage to it that I’ve seen is that it forces me to use more of my muscles—it helps me avoid cheating by using my strongest muscles to gain momentum to skip my weaker. It also helps me focus on the form of the exercise rather than the end state.
Aretae swears by it, which is the reason I decided to pick it up.
I’m considering putting data together. I haven’t collected data on any of my projects since my experiment to see if calories were a reasonable approximation for weight-loss purposes. (And contrary to my original expectations, they are. But my diet was fairly well balanced, and I expect the data wouldn’t hold for wildly unbalanced diets.)

I wouldn’t mind seeing an update on this after a few months. I haven’t seen any evidence, even anecdotal, that anyone got strong on it.

I don’t know anything about Super Slow, but FWIW, these are all attributes of Starting Strength as well.
