 All right next question is from Bravo Davis 90 How much of a factor is time under tension in relation to building muscle say I use the same weight But were to do ten fast reps or six slow reps for exactly the same time Each set and for the same amount of sets. What do you think would build more muscle? Yeah, so the difference is actually point seven six five Thank you for being very specific. Yeah. No, you're I swear to God people Really split hairs on something like this. So there's benefits to lifting fast. You tend to recruit more motor units and muscle fibers There's also benefit to going slow Time under tension right the control factor the the safety factor Most people I encourage to lift with a controlled slower tempo mainly because the The risk of injury is so much lower and you get great benefit. Anyway, that's basically it lifting fast is Fine the problem with lifting fast is it requires a great deal of control I save that for highly trained people with lots of control like I don't like to see fast squats Unless you're like an excellent squatter and most people just aren't so everything's got to be slower and controlled But there's value to both and now what does that mean that means? Try a little bit of both but always be careful because the faster you do the reps The higher the risk of injury and the more control you have to have over I mean to give you a simple example, I could do a very slow You know, I can mimic throwing a baseball very slowly and it's not gonna hurt my shoulder I think I throw a real fast and I'll feel it in my shoulder. So same thing with lifting In fact, there was that that recent study that showed that fast crunches, you know activated more muscle fibers than slow crunches But you know People just don't know how to crunch properly So I would never encourage anybody to do a fast crunch unless they had like I get the best control of all time But this is where these studies really mess people up because they start focusing They start putting too much value on these types of things when in reality I mean, they all kind of have value do the one that works best for you and also Strongly consider the safety. Well, I definitely would say there's a priority to one versus the other in terms of like which you do first So I would definitely lean more towards the time under tension and the slow Methodical approach first to be able to understand what that connection feels like and to be able to like go through the recruitment process Not to mention it's safer But I mean they both have value but to be able to go there first and then Get to fast is is crucial for you to be able to get success, you know further down the road You got to be tired of hearing me say this but the answer is it's the one that you do the least Yeah If you want to know which one would build the most muscle in this case because by the way in a completely controlled environment We did a study if the load was the same time on our attention is the time that the is the same It's just the reps are changing a bit. It'd probably be a splitting hair difference. So what Sal's saying? So it means nothing, right? but If you're just like normal people that are following some sort of a routine and you probably Gravitate towards training one way more than the other the one that's going to build the most muscle is the one you rarely do if you were like my Athletes that I would train who do so much stuff explosively and do fast reps all the time And they have like this one one one the way they train and I get a hold that person I'm doing a slow tempo four two two with them And we're gonna do the same time that you would do ten reps We're gonna do six and slow it down and they're gonna build the most muscle there opposed to me doing the The ten reps and faster because their their body is adapted to that way of training and the vice versa is true So if you're somebody who trains like a bodybuilder slow and control of time and you never train like an athlete That's explosive and fast reps you doing the fast reps is gonna build you the most muscle So that's I think that is the theme of this these types of questions But the biggest factor that people need to consider is literally the benefit versus risk Well, that's why Justin's point is perfect Yeah, if you had to if I got a clean slate, right and someone's asking this question. We've never trained at all I'm always gonna go slower control before we ever move it Well think about this way of all the people that you ever train and work with what percentage of them Did you ever encourage to lift explosively and fast right very slim? Yeah, the the chance of injury the risk of injury goes up so much with speed of reps That it's almost not worth it for a lot of people it mainly because people don't have the control and the stability To do it most people don't have the control of stability to do fast curls Let alone fast deadlifts fast overhead presses fast bench presses fast squats So you got to consider that as well So although definitely, you know, the one you're not doing is the one that's gonna build the most muscle What you don't want to do is I always train slow. I always train controlled. I've got good muscle development I'm just gonna switch into this explosive training. Okay, you you think you have the control to do explosive training But if you've never done it before I would go medium before going fast like wake work your way up because it requires all It's a whole different that's fair. I think that's a good point different operating system
