Hello,
I've been doing some surfing around and ran into this system, I wanted to see what you guys think, they claim to be able to obtain Maximum results in a few weeks,
There theory is based on
1 rep 50% your max weight lasting 2 minutes (yes a really slow rep)
then 6 reps at your max weight (hold the last rep for 15 seconds)
then 15 or so reps at 75% of max weight (hold last rep for 15 seconds)
What do you think?
They said something about using the most amount of muscle fibres you can
Very Interesting (for a newbie like me anyway)

I really don't know if that would be good or not, but I had a question. How could you do 6 reps at your max weight, I thought your max weight is determined by one rep?

I think he's referring to max training weight, not one rep max. There are several variations of this type of workout and they can definitely be part of your arsenal. This one sounds like it uses mostly shocking techniques like slow training, rest pause and pre-exhaustion. I've used cycles of slow training and it's good for getting you over a hump, but like most methods, your body adapts so stay flexible and switch your routines.

Equis, I did that program and I have to say, I got some great strength gains from it. It's considered more of an off-season training program because it's not primarily for fat loss, but strength and size gain. I liked it and have to say, in the beginning, it kicked my butt.
Mike is right, the body does adapt quickly, so you'll have to stay focused and keep it intense.

Thanks for the comments,
I may try this in a few weeks when I finish my current routine, then after that go for a FT program
I have the delemar, I have about 20 - 30 kgs of fat to lose but I don't want to sacrefice muscle to lose it :-(

If you look hard enough, there are literally a thousand different workout routines(schemes) out there. The better ones are simply variations to get you past sticking points of the best of all, basic, compound exercises. these are not meant long term, just when you complete it, go back to the basics. Don't get too caught up in the hype workouts. Good luck with it!
