Time under tension??

[Yeezerebaneezer]

Ive been looking into doing some time under tension workouts for a little muscle confusion but i havent looked much into it.. For those who dont know its basically times sets and reps are more slow and gradual
Does anyone have any experiences with Time under Tension??

There are so many contradictory studies on that topic. No universal truth there

[PVincent21]

I know BPak likes sets that consist of 8 reps with 4 second negatives, so your muscles are under tension for around 40 seconds each set, while still pushing a pretty big amount of weight since you only need 8 reps. I've tried doing stuff like that for compound movements, and I find it works great, strength went up, better development.

I'm thinking maybe do TUT one week out of a month just to allow confusion.. What do u think?

No such thing as muscle confusion. Worrying about time under tension is ****ing gay. Add weight to the bar or reps each weak.

Lift heavy ****, eat tons of charred animal flesh. profit.

If this were true periodization would be false. However, many have realized periodization is more effective and easily applicable for stimulation than variation in exercises.

No. time under tension has nothing to do with periodization. You have know idea what you're talking about

[YoungDrSwole]

Just increase repetitions, slow negatives are important, but no reason to make them last 5+ seconds IMO.

Time under tension is increase if you add another rep(yes think about it)

Ben Pakulski. Look em up.

Time under tension is a useful tool because it focuses on the eccentric portion of the lift. And muscle confusion is bull****.

What I would do on lifts like the bench press, squat, OHP, pullups, dips, and many more is do 1.5-2 second negatives. Although you should probably already be doing them on the squats (this is the prime reason why people get so lowerbody-heavy on SS).

But don't focus on the negative on things like the deadlift. There really isn't a negative for deads.

Wat?

I was referring to your muscle confusion statement; if muscle confusion were false so would periodization and you should have realized this.

What is all this muscle confusion you fellers are talking about? Its common knowledge to change your routine so your body doesn't adapt. Its not magical f***in science.

[NZninja101]

From someone who's tried super slow reps, it sucks ass. Honestly, don't do it IMO. Waste of time.

It's not common knowledge. At least not on here. If you think it is IRL then I'm afraid the people around you don't seem to quite know what they're doing. You don't need to frequently change routines. When you adapt to being able to do a lift for x reps, change things up by adding weight and trying to get as many reps, or keep the weight the same and try to get more reps. The only changes people should make to their routines are


1) when they feel they're no longer in novice/intermediate/whatever stage of their training, and want an appropriate routine, eg you wouldn't recommend Konstantine do Starting Strength


2) when you make small adjustments to your training in volume/exercise selection/rep range/rest/form/tempo/frequency/etc as you seek to slowly but surely get closer and closer to what works best for you.


3) as a response to injury.


Muscle confusion is a myth.

[TSDelosa]

my chest responds to longer tut better imo.
i always try to mix it up though and never keep it the same for long.

So by you saying there's no such thing as muscle confusion. Does that mean someone could stay on the same routine for 1 year and get the same results as changing your routine every 3 months for a year? Or does that fall into a different category?
It's all about tricking the body after all, isn't it? Introducing new techniques and exercises for your muscles to adapt to, then change it up again?
(not starting an arguing, just asking a few questions)

That's stupid

Doesn't matter in the short term

You half agreed with what I just said.

Also, I think it depends it depends on the person's goals if they need to move up in weight, or change routines. So maybe not a myth, just something not highly looked upon. Alright, and I agree that maybe the knowledge of it is not so common knowledge, but it would be better if it was. My opinion.
