Are you powering through reps using momentum? If so, you’re leaving serious gains on the table. 🧠💪
Tempo. Time Under Tension. Pausing.
These aren’t just buzzwords — they’re foundational for building real strength + muscle.
➡️ Tempo controls the pace of your lift. Slowing down the eccentric (lowering) phase keeps your muscles working longer.
➡️ Time under tension increases muscle fiber recruitment. More tension = more growth.
➡️ Pausing at the beginning + end of a rep removes momentum. Now your muscles actually have to do the work.
Instead of bouncing out of the bottom of a squat or rushing your bench reps, pause, control + own every inch of the movement.
