Training with Tempo

By Eric Bugera

Time under tension misunderstood.

• Tempo is the intentional manipulation of the time spent during each phase of a repetition.

• Tempo can be applied to both strength and hypertrophy training to bring up deficits and allow skilled development of a movement.

• Assure an appropriate load is selected such that the targeted tissues are still receiving an adequate stimulus with a slower repetition speed.

What Is Tempo?

Training with tempo means that you’re intentionally employing a specific speed for each phase of a repetition. This includes a predetermined amount of time spent during the eccentric and concentric phases with the option of placing strategic pauses at the end of the eccentric phase. While there may be different annotations floating around depending on where you see tempo written, a common way of interpreting it within programming is eccentric-pause-concentric-pause/reset; for example, a tempo squat may read 3-1-1-1 – a thr...

Weaponize Your Rest

Rest periods are more than just time on your phone.

By Eric Bugera

• Energy systems can help you understand the implications of your rest periods.

• Reduced rest progressively harnesses additional energy systems, which can direct muscular adaptation.

• Your rest period should reflect your goals to peak your expected results.

What Does It Matter?

Rest periods are often an afterthought within a program. Many coaches and clients can see huge progress by simply resting until they feel ready for their high-intensity set – but what might you be missing in the details of rest periods? Rest periods are intimately tied to energy systems and specific muscle fiber adaptations. Although it might seem like minuscia – the right rest period may help trigger the next phase of progress once the “going by feel” stops producing results.

Rest and Energy Systems

Fatigue is accumulated during each set of exercise (for the sake of simplicity, we’ll keep this relegated to...
