Lift as Fast as Possible for Better Strength Gains
Episode description
How much does the lifting tempo you use in the gym matter? Well, a lot, at least according to a new meta-analysis that lays the foundation for today’s episode.
The study showed that lifting weights intentionally slowly leads to slower strength gains, while lifting them as fast as possible leads to faster ones.
But what about injury risk? The eccentric phase of the lift?
Take our hand and we’ll show you the way to faster gains!
