Time Under Tension (TUT) and Hypertrophy
👉🏻 For our Nutrition, Strength & Hypertrophy training plans, visit the link in bio.
There’s a lot of misconception among Time Under Tension and its relationship with Hypertrophy.
(And mind you, in this post I’m NOT talking about eccentric overloading!!!)
Many people believe that slowing reps down and increasing the duration of the muscular contraction can create greater hypertrophy. And while there’s some truth to this statement, it’s still slightly incorrect.
Why ? Because TUT “matters”, but mostly for the volume that counts as “effective” for hypertrophy, as Chris Beardsley suggests.
