Time Under Tension
Time under tension is a guide for how you should perform the movement on this workout. It consists of 4 values indicating the number of seconds each movement should take. The 4 values are eccentric, pause, concentric, and rest describing the movement from beginning to end. A time under tension value of ‘x’ means as fast as you can. In the case of ‘2-0-x-0’ for barbell bench press, you would lower the bar down over 2 seconds, do not pause, extend your arms and raise the bar as fast as possible, and then begin the next rep immediately. Comparably, a ‘2-1-2-1’ time under tension would mean lower the bar over 2 seconds, pause 1 second, raise the bar over 2 seconds, and rest 1 second before beginning the next rep.
