C4 Pre Workout VS Hyde Pre Workout

23 February 2010 No Comment

I see a lot in different exercise routines the emphasis being placed on something known as “time under tension”, aka “TUT”.  In very simple terms this refers to the amount of time that a particular muscle group is being placed under work (“tension”).  However, almost every fitness routine only looks at this from the point of view of how long a particular, single set lasts in terms of time.  For example, if you do a set of 10 reps, and it takes you 3 seconds a repetition to complete a full rep, then that set took 30 seconds to complete. However, I’d like for you to think not only in terms of how long a particular set may last, but open up your point of focus and view it as “how long that particular muscle was made to work during the course of the entire workout”, not just on a single set level.  I can tell you right now, that in order to tone up and gain or build lean muscle mass it’s those that place their muscles under a longer “time under tension” that see the best results.
