I'm certainly not able to do the routine shown in that video. Doing exercises at fast speed has, I think, two primary benefits. One is that it becomes more of a cardio workout, and two, it helps develop power. Physics flashback: the work done is the same for a slow squat or a fast squat, but the power (work/time) is greater for a fast squat. When it comes to many sports, power is more beneficial than sheer strength (think jumping for example).

RE: the video...holy crap! At first when they were doing those squats, I thought it was in fast forward. I'm blown away by how much upper body strength those women have. What is the benefit of doing weight-bearing exercises at a fast speed (vs. slowly and not using any momentum)? Sorry to hear about your injuries, Roger. RE: the video…holy crap!
