The goal is full recruitment of the muscle, which generally is really effective at very slow speeds. Adding a weight just makes the muscle work harder, doesn't defeat the purpose at all!

I'm impressed you can do a super slow with a weight! I can't even do 10 seconds, I'm a 5 seconds up/5 seconds down weenie.
