Tempo = Results As I grew deeper in my fitness journey, I realized TEMPO isn’t just a technique you occasionally tweak; it’s a constant essential parameter in lifting. Many lifters (all levels) do still underestimate the long-term benefits of building a solid foundation with slower eccentric and concentric movements. What strikes me is how many lifters I assess these days struggle to control the weight adequately through partial or a full range of motion. Tempo isn’t just a minor detail, it’s the key to improve movement quality and control. Believe me, completing reps without awareness and control makes it easy to hit a plateau and increase risk of injury due to lingering weaknesses. Here are a few examples to try out: Tempo 4010: Squat (Any level) 4: 4 seconds to lower the weight 0: No pause at the bottom of lift 1: 1 second to push back up 0: No Pause at the top of the squat Best for rep ranges: 10-12, 8-10, 7-9, 6-8 Tempo 52X1: Squat (Advance level) 5: 5 seconds to lower the weight 2: 2 seconds pause at the bottom (Don’t lose tension) X: Explode back up to standing 1: 1 second pause at the top (standing) Best for rep ranges: 2-4 or 1-3 Happy training!
