The driver behind building strength is mechanical tension, ... more” is far from the reality of what’s needed along with the principle behind the length-tension relationship of muscle fibers.

The length-tension curve in muscle depends on lattice spacing. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences , 2013; 280 (1766): 20130697 DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2013.0697 Cite This Page : ...

They're the perfect complement to building your pecs with chest exercises and getting broad shoulders with shoulder workouts.

For anyone wanting to discover how to gain muscle, it’s no exaggeration to say that, without some element of time under tension, muscle gain (or hypertrophy) in adults would be nigh on impossible.

Time under tension (TUT) is a weightlifting technique designed to build muscle mass by increasing the time muscles spend activated during an exercise. We cover if it works and what its benefits are.

Time under tension (TUT) refers to the amount of time a muscle is held under tension or strain during an exercise set. During TUT workouts, you lengthen each phase of the movement to make your ...
