 First question is from Jordan Lacy. Should I be changing my lifting tempo every time I phase into a new workout regimen? I like this conversation because tempo is one of the most underrated ways of changing a stimulus from lifting weights. It's one that nobody looks at. You know, they look at, you know, reps is common, how many sets you do is common, changing the exercises is common, changing form less common, but still more common than tempo. I almost hear nobody ever talk about phasing with with tempo, but I'll tell you something. You do an exercise explosively or you do it slow and controlled. It almost changes the exercise totally completely, you know, and it's one thing that I've always gotten results from. I'll take an exercise and maybe I don't want to phase out of the reps necessarily or the exercise so I'll just say to myself, you know, today I'm going to squat and instead of, you know, explosively driving up, I'm going to consciously take five seconds to go down and go up, feels completely different. So I love this idea and I think it's a great strategy. Personally, I use it very similar to what we were just talking about in the intro with, like, hit and but the way I do it, it's not a time thing on this situation. It's kind of like a mood how I'm feeling, right? So some days I'm going into a workout. I'm sure you guys can relate to this and I feel powerful. I was, I'm well fed, I'm well rested and my training has been consistent. And the last few times I've trained, I may have seen, you know, some increases consistently and I'm like, I want to test my power. And so I'm going to do a more explosive type of lift where it's like a one, one type, one, one, one type of tempo and just see what, because I feel good. And then there's other times when I just feel achy and I'm tired, maybe I'm wore down a little bit and trying to be explosive or lift like max load. I just, I'm not feeling that today. So I'm going to manipulate my tempo and do a very slow controlled lighter weight. So I love to use it like also like hit as, now, again, this is an experience lifter, understanding how this is a tool in my tool belt and trying to work it in my everyday life. I think if I'm advising somebody who is learning how to program, learning how to train, this is probably one of the smartest strategies is, you know, pick it, you change your phase. Now you should also change your tempo and pay attention to the results from that, be consistent with it, measure it. But as you become more and more advanced and understand how to manipulate all these, all these variables, I think this is another great way to day by day, pay attention to how you feel and utilize this tool differently. Well, this was one thing that I thought was outlined somewhat smart in like the NASM and their whole pyramid of, you know, phasing of the stability phase, the strength phase, working your way up the ladder towards the power phase. And so if you're looking at it just specifically from a tempo perspective, I tended to utilize that concept when I would have somebody brand new. We're really slow and a lot of times I'm just doing isometric exercises so they can really like great point, deeply connect and feel how they're, you know, where their body is in space and like which muscles are actively involved, which ones like need to respond and aren't responding. And so we can really, you know, take the time to assess what's happening and pay attention, graduate them to a different tempo where now we're working a little bit more on strength, the rest periods a bit longer, but now we're actually like, you know, promoting a little more aggressive, you know, tempo and then working our way up towards this explosive like, boom, we have to move quickly and moving quickly needs a really solid foundation to be applied properly. Excellent point because I want to, I want to, you know, get into that little deeper. Slow tempo doesn't require as much stability and control as explosive tempo. So if you are not advanced or let's say you do an exercise and you have a tough time feeling your target muscles or you have a tough time really yielding the results you're looking for from a movement. So let's say you do squats and you notice, let's say you're somebody wants to build your butt doing squats and you're not really hitting the butt, you don't feel it in the glutes, it's not really responding, you're better off going slow in connecting than you are going explosive and fast. So there is a totally different feel and the prerequisites are different. And I will say this when I would train clients more often than not, not all the time, but more often than not, I would focus more on a slower control tempo because it just doesn't require nearly as much skill and control. No, I just, that's a great point. And that's where like who we're talking to matters how I absolutely the questions being asked would I change? I think that's a great, you know, just straight up for most people, that's a good strategy. You move into a new phase, you change the tempo along with whatever exercises or rep ranges that you're changing. I think that's a smart, that's a smart idea. But to Justin's point, how I coach clients very similar. Most people I did not mess with explosive type tempos until way later in their training until we've been training for a long time. They have very good body control and they have very good form and technique. Now we can play with that more regularly because they have that type of control and understanding of what we're trying to accomplish. More risk and also, you know, more reward at that point. You've built the foundation of it. So yeah, your body really responds during the power phase and you get a lot of the benefits from it, but you just got to make sure that, you know, you don't do any damage leading up to. Yeah. Before you can go fast, you've got to be able to do it perfectly going slow. That's what I would say.
