QUOTE(Desvaro @ Mar 23 2010, 09:57 PM) Sticking to hypertrophy, Poliquin suggests that in order for hypertrophy to occur, a muscle generally needs to have Time Under Tension (TUT) of at least 40 seconds. Imagine yourself doing bicep curls, if you take 1 second to lift the weight and 1 second to lower it for 10 reps, you'll get around 20-25 seconds of TUT, which is not optimal for hypertrophy. If you take 1 second to lift and 3 seconds to lower, that gives you at least 40 seconds of TUT.  |

QUOTE(yeah_guyz @ Mar 24 2010, 12:51 PM) read carefully bro. it is total of whole set Yeah i know. I don't count the time when training. Don't know it must at least 40 second. if that been a case i have to play a bit lighter load than now. not do 1 reps for 40s This definately burn my muscle like hell. i use to complete my set under 20 second. surely this is hard to follow. now i know the different between strength training and hyperthrophy (BB)) This post has been edited by arekey: Mar 24 2010, 02:34 PM |
