Time Under Tension Training

[silntrunin]

Who's tried it??? Results??

My wife and I were looking for a change, weren't really sure what but just knew we needed some type of change.
Been looking at different training ideas if you will and figured we'd give TUT a try.

Its only been a week so I think I'll take some measurements and start keeping a log before we get to far into it.

Was just curious if anyone has used this training method and what you thought.

I mix it in my programs and love it bro. Especially for bodybuilding goals. I've put some considerable size on by doing so. Recovery is the tough part. Can sometimes take longer to recover. I've seen some great results with it and still do

Did quite a bit of it while training DC style back in the day.
It's intense and works very well but kind of boring. I'd go fekkin' insane if that's all I was doing.

Been doing this since the 1st of October... I've made some great progress, just today my coach commented that It's visible and we're continuing this going forward.
Also, I should say as well, I'm recovering from a dislocated elbow (july 19th); this was one way to keep the weight lighter and still get some positive work done.

I am extremely pleased with it... and like IS stated, I do notice a bit longer recovery than my normal, but that could also be due to my strength being down in general since.

Hence why OP said he is mixing it up. TUT is better than crossfit tho

TUT is one of my many favorites, i like to incoperate it every so often.

lol...good stuff guys

Looking forward to making some new gains. The plan is to go with this for about 6 weeks and see where we are and then maybe throw in some GVT after that.

Gotta mix it up, keep the body constantly guessing WTF is going on. At my age going heavy all the time just doesn't cut it anymore. To hard on the body and joints.

Thanks! Appreciate the input.

I use GVT and TUT. It has brought me to where I am. It is incredible.

I have to stop and say wow to that back of yours. Its my goal to chisle something like that. HOLY ****

I'm going to give it a shot. My shoulder is jacked so I'm hoping I can still put on some size with it. Anything heavy right now is off limits. But it is a different feeling making a rep last so long.

Just started back with GVT.....one word.."SORE"

OK, so do you guys get overly crazy with the exact tempo and length of set? I'm doing a 1040 tempo which is 1 second up, zero hold, 4 sec neg and zero at the end right now but for certain exercises I will add 1 at the top or the squeeze if you will cause I believe in the squeezing that contraction with a total of a 30-40 second set. Like anything else I'm sure that changing it up will give the best results. Again just like to hear what you guys have played with and how you felt it effected your results.

btw, Bullmuscle, thanks bro. Now if I could only bring that conditioning to stage next year I'll be happy. I ****ed up the last week of prep this past year messing with diurectics so no diurectics next prep if I'm in that condition 2 weeks before show time.
