SWAT Training - Power Lifts

A solid SWAT Training Program certainly has some power lifts at its core.

Are you taking the time to focus on the tempo of your lift.... why do you care about lifting tempo...well you want to be completely prepared.

Being able to do that depends on being properly conditioned. You must also put on some mass while losing fat during your training....

So when you are doing some lifts establish a tempo like a 311 or 412...here's the technical b.s. if you need to know what and why

For a 311 Temp3 seconds to lower the weight (eccentric portion), 1 second pause at the isometric position and 1 second to lift the weight (concentric)

412 is just 4 second lower, 1 sec pause, 2 secs up.

With respect to mass programs it really ensures effective time under tension, which lead to the consequent metabolic environments necessary for muscle growth............

If you don't give a fat rats butt about the technical stuff I don't blame you... that is the job of whoever is preparing your training for you. It is important to get the most out of your physical training and adding a tempo component to your lifting, gives you that little extra you may need to have in your tank one day.
