Not all sets are to be done to failure, just maybe (not an exact science since the actual intensity can and will vary due to each person’s level of “insanity”), but complete failure (being, not one more rep could be done even if your...

TUT (time under tension)

2022-07-1517:10

Despite racking up almost 40% more time under tension when using the slower weightlifting tempo, the subjects in this study were able to do about 60% more total reps when they used a faster weightlifting tempo. On the whole, this translated into much more total “work” (weight x reps) being done, producing more powerful muscle-building stimulus. “Instead of focusing on the number of reps of an exercise, TUT training aims to make athletes slow down and perform an exercise with less momentu...
