You’ve Been Doing Reps All Wrong! (FIX THIS)

From the creator

Should you do fast reps or slow reps if your goal is to build more muscle? In this video, I’m going to answer the question of whether one rep tempo is better than the other and show you how to make whatever rep style work best regardless of what you choose. That said, it is important to point out that both fast reps and slow reps have a place in your training program. When to do each and how to apply each rep tempo is critically important if you want to get this training variable to work for you and help you to build more muscle.

The one thing we know about performing reps more slowly is that your form should be perfect when doing them. What people don’t know is that the actual cadence of the reps is important and can be manipulated to get even better muscle growth. This is where a technique called trap sets comes in. When performing a trap set, you want to do your first rep with a one second concetric and one second eccentric. The second rep should be performed with a two second concentric and two second eccentric. The third rep would be three seconds both up and down. Keep doing this until you have reached a 5 second concentric and 5 second eccentric. From here, you are half way done. Now, reverse the order and once again perform a 5 second rep in both directions and work back down to 1 and 1 on your final rep. By t
