Is Tempo Training the Answer?

League of Wildness,

Today we're talking about Tempo Training and why I've been psyched on including it in my own training of recent.

What is Tempo Training?

>>Reps performed @ a prescribed cadence.

Tempo Training is always written as a four-number prescription.

For example: 3111

First number (3): This is the eccentric lowering portion of the exercise.

Second number (1): This is how long to pause at the bottom of the exercise.

Third Number (1): This is the length of the concentric (muscle shortening) portion of the exercise.

Fourth number: (1) How long to pause at the top of the exercise.

Why include Tempo Training?

1. Improve movement quality.
2. Reduce the likelihood of injury.
3. Improve connective tissue health.
4. Increase strength.

Example workout:

2-3 sets

Pushups @ Tempo 3111 8-12 reps.

Rest 60-90 seconds.

Should we include Tempo Training in future programs?

Thanks for listening!
