Great stuff Coach! Time based sets work really well, especially in a group setting.

Yes they do!

Solid presentation Dave. I prescribe for my folks rep schemes for mechanical overload/failure and timed work/rest ratios for more metabolic overload.

time, aka 'high intensity training' is better. Basically it is just doing slower reps, going to failure. It's particularly good with bands b/c many exercises with bands can be a bit easy if going full speed, but much more tiring when you do slow reps (and you can just 'up the weight' like on a selectorized machine of course).

Time workouts are great and more taxing on the muscles!!
