Is Time Under Tension overrated!?

[Aliapfelsaft]

The product of time under tension and magnitude of the tension in this time, is important.

amazing content, you may not reach much people as you deserve but you definetly bring muh value to those who watch you, keep it up

Learning about stuff I didn’t even know I needed to learn about. Thanks!

[roblo]

Thanks for dealing with this kind of in depth questions! It’s a very helpful thing, to not having to research studys yourself!Much appreciated!👌👌👌

Yeah I would agree but I was distracted by his biceps

I would like the links to those articles please

This definitely doesn’t hinder gains, it increases gains cuz the muscles recruit fast twitch muscle fibers and annihilates the body-part trough immense intensity which stimulates and fully utilizes all of the muscle’s stored energy/strength.

I do some exercises like Pull ups with 5 seconds concentric and 5 seconds eccentric or even 8 seconds I also did It in ring push ups, lean planche push ups... these are really though and I When I did then they really helped me getting better at the move and gaining muscle mass

I've made more gains in the past 2 months doing TUT.

I think it is tied in with actual weight aswell. Put yourself under as much tension with the heaviest weight

[massimobozzi]

I think peak tension per fibre is the real McCoy. The myofibrils need to receive a minor amount of damage. That happens faster when they are operating closer to high output. Heavy weights!

Its not the numbers that count for the most part, or the time under tension. Its those 2/3 last reps that you take to failure that makes the difference.

[alexjackson]

it depends on your goal. time under tension works well for growth and developing form. it should be your focus especially as a beginner.

[shatteredsquare]

slow reps should be treated like yoga and flexibility conditioning, max strength is from max violence, use slow reps to get all the way into the deep cracks after the tank is empty

[ripper_op]

Strength gain is not the goal for many that's why slow reps are preferred for beginners

Thank you much for this information 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[rommelriot]

Yeah. You see, simply put, the keyword here is joint recuperation... Our joints can only work in a limited amount of time... This is what I feel... Don't you too bros & sis?

[LostInLeiden]

Good to know, I'd been doing slow negatives to try to build pull up strength but maybe better to take a different approach. My goal is to get slow, controlled (non kipping) muscle up by first building pull strength. What is a better approach than increasing time under tension then?

[briandoe]

Focusing on time under tension may hinder strength gains but it increases hypertrophy. You've got to look at the accumulation of all of the data. It's not specifically the time under tension that does it. It is who does it and when they do it. Time under tension is extremely important. It just mostly matters in the last few reps and the last set. Check your studies and dig deeper into the data.

[quietside]

No, you wouldn't expect higher reps to cause more growth, because tension in a high rep set is low, not high. The tension is high at the very last few reps, not throughout.
