Miscellaneous
If you're not familiar with tempo, you may have seen tempo in a program, but weren’t quite sure what it was. Tempo resistance training is prescribed with a series of four sequential numbers. It’s written with the @ symbol followed by the four numbers each representing the timing for the four stages of a lift, seen in the episode picture. I really like tempo resistance training. It can be a very effective method of training for certain areas and at certain times. I emphasize, "certain," because like all training methods, there are times you may want to use it, and times you may not. So, let's talk pros, cons, and how to include it in a training program.
