Time under tension/static workouts helped me build muscle and strength twice as fast as normal. I actually prefer them over regular(or fast paced) workouts. They hurt more during, but I feel a LOT stronger(and better in general) after the workout, which is the opposite of what I'd expected since I wasn't able to do as many reps as before. Anyway, I really recommend it to anyone, no matter what your goals are, these types of workouts produce faster results.
Yup, my body responds better to this while at the same time not overtaxing it. I can easily do a lighter weight focused and controlled workout and still able to function better at work. Another big key a lot of people don't use the mind muscle connection. This is by far the most helpful tool to build any muscle. I always warmup with no weights really feeling the contraction of a particular muscle I am planning on training. The mind really plays a big role.
I used this back in the 80s and got laughed out of the weight room. I picked it up again after I had done Yoga for about 10 years. For the last 10 years I have taught and do this methodology and it has doubled my strength and has done the same for others.
As a mentor in Friends Fitness (ages 13-18) we've been doing a similar method since the late 70's. We go for failure within 4 reps w/a 10 second count up and 10 sec down. It takes a minimum of 47-50 sec under tension to generate the hormones to build strength and muscle. This is done to bring the student to a "moment of choice" i.e. give up or plow thru it.

Hello there Mr. Hayward, Can you give me any tips on how and when is the best time to take protein shakes? before or after the work out? or how many times a day would you recommend to take them?
This looks like a good way to stop you from beating your last workout by doing faster reps and whatnot. But, what should you do if you're at failure before the timer?
if possible you should show us yet another tip on how we can increase my bench i improve everything else but not my bench decline and incline and its the muscles i work the hardest, oh and the main reason i workout till my muscles get fatigue, but i dont wake up sore, unless you know i stretch or something i could kind of feel it anyways could it just be that i have little or no lactic acid? ps i ve been working out for a while and work out everyday?
Hey Lee im in football and since its during the season we lift every friday, but im trying to get stronger so i can excell at my position, would you recomend i do something like this everyday or every otherday after a practice?
hey lee thanks for the tip but a few days ago i told you about protein and you said to make sure it has whey isolate so i check the ingredients and it reads super whey protein then parenthesis inside the parenthesis says (something, something, whey isolate ) is it overall whey isolate? just want to make sure and not waste my money
Hello Lee, i wanna ask you smth, how many days should i workout in a week? 3 times are enough? And another thing, why do my muscles hurt after the day i workout ... they really really hurt :S Please answer, thanks!
Yoyoyo Lee H ! Bought your BYB program last saturday ! I have only read through the nutrition thing and I am going to read the main e-book part by part in the evenings. Now I am in my last week of 3 weeks to bigger arms of another program from a dude called Bpak and then I'll have a week rest before crushing it into the BYB ! Hoping to get rid off those way too long noodle arms ... Do you think that it will have a similar effect on me like it would on a short person? Im 190cm 16 y.o 72 kg o_O
What about the break between the sets? And what about the second rep when you need to increase the weight, I mean do I need to keep the 1 minute duration even with increasing the weight?
Hey Lee, I tried your method, holy shit was that like a torture, I usually did my tricep dips weighted for 8 reps. I put some weight out and did it, I can't continue on for 1 minute, like I dropped several times.. lol. What I want to ask lee, so this 1 time under tension set will replace all the 3 x 8 I did before? Or should I do it more than once?
Coach how long should we wait between each set of a minute? And I would like to make a request!! Could you make a video about losing bf please? I dont have alot of fat, only on my belly and I cant lose it!!
Im working out in the gym in like 7 months and they never stop hurting ... some says that's normal because if they hurt, u worked out good and they will grow but some says that i dont consume much proteins to repair them ...
Lee - What do you think of a midpoint holding in place for count of 10 at the end of each rep'd set? Tried that on my traps 2 weeks ago and it feels great. Now trying it on other body parts.. Didn't want to lower the weight amount in order to go slowly up and down.
Hi Lee. As ever thanks for the informative videos - a really great resource. I have one question. I was doing your 6x6 style, and I currently do 12/12/12/15, again with as short a break between sets as possible to keep my heart rate up for those cardio benefits. Could I mix this into my standard sets routine, perhaps doing one or two exercises in this style? Or perhaps do sets 3 days a week and time under tension one day per week? Thanks in advance!
3 days is fine as long as you work everymuscle for instance do this monday back and biceps and abs wednesday chest and triceps saturday shoulders and legs it could be because you have alot of lactic acid, it will start hurting less
With weight training you need to rest at least 1 minute between sets. Don't rush your workouts, the idea is to fatigue from muscular exhaustion, not cardiovascular exhaustion.
Total Fitness Bodybuilding sounds good Im a personal trainer and although they did speak on hypertrophic method the didn’t use the different variable of workouts and modalities in each phase of training this seems really good for time restricted real world people and people looking to break that “glass ceiling “
Im kind of new to Gym. But im kinda confused... is TUT only for the people that are big and want to get shredded? Or can beginners do this too, building muscle aswell?
Honestly for me tut trainin' is much less intense than normal trainin', unless I go for the weights that feel "unhealthy" and I struggle to control, but then 10 clean, moderate speed reps are difficult too, so... The only reason I do some of it is that in a lil while I'm gonna add full MMA to my Krav Maga and Mua Thai, so slow, strong contraction over time is important too, just as explosive power and a bit slower but still 100% on reps relyin' fights with fish sometimes 5-10 times my weight, which I do for a livin' and live for, there it's all about endurance at a high pace, focus and sometimes rediculous speed
Yep, I know ;) Thanks for the reply. Hope I can get as close to Arnold's physique as close as possible NATURALLY :P Got lots of good years in front of me !
time under tension is stupid. I could do 15 reps at a 1-2 tempo which would be 45 seconds. Or i could do 5 reps with a 9 second negative. Still get 45 seconds under temp. But i would never do a 9 second negative, because its stupid. Love your video Lee hayward, not trying to be rude to you, i just don't believe in TUT, keep dem videos coming though dude
If time under tension is important do you even need to do reps. Can’t you just hole the weights in a position where you muscles are flexed for 60 seconds? Does the movement improve muscle growth?

T Marginau agreed bro. I love it.

How many seconds per set
is it about using heavy weight? Or just simply not counting? Is 1 minute recommended or preference?

Not a lot of people do TUT. This stuff really fries you up. Good Video Lee.

This looks like a good way to stop you from beating your last workout by doing faster reps and whatnot. But, what should you do if you're at failure before the timer?
Then stick with the same weight next time until your strong enough to outlast the timer and increase the weight
if possible you should show us yet another tip on how we can increase my bench i improve everything else but not my bench decline and incline and its the muscles i work the hardest, oh and the main reason i workout till my muscles get fatigue, but i dont wake up sore, unless you know i stretch or something i could kind of feel it anyways could it just be that i have little or no lactic acid?
ps i ve been working out for a while and work out everyday?
problem is, i use weights so heavy there is no way i can do mimute long sets. would this exhaust the muscle before pump anyways?
This guy looks like a jacked up Steve-O

Please answer, thanks!
This is really good. You can really work on form and controlling the weight
Wow thanks a LOT for the example found a workout online and will try this out for 5 weeks LETS GROWWW!!! 💪
What workout did you find?
Is lactic acid good for muscle building?
Yoyoyo Lee H ! Bought your BYB program last saturday ! I have only read through the nutrition thing and I am going to read the main e-book part by part in the evenings.

Thank you for the clear demonstration!
You are welcome!
What about the break between the sets? And what about the second rep when you need to increase the weight, I mean do I need to keep the 1 minute duration even with increasing the weight?
2 sec up, 3 sec down, 1 sec pause x 10 reps = 60 sec
but how long are you resting between sets
Hey Lee, I tried your method, holy shit was that like a torture, I usually did my tricep dips weighted for 8 reps. I put some weight out and did it, I can't continue on for 1 minute, like I dropped several times.. lol. What I want to ask lee, so this 1 time under tension set will replace all the 3 x 8 I did before? Or should I do it more than once?
what I wanted to ask was, do we do it just once for every exercise? or is it something like 3 x 1 min? Thank you
Make a video on how to approach a bulk!
HI Lee,
can you please tell me the name of the stopwatch app you've downloaded and for which OS?
Thanks! ~Sanjay
Coach how long should we wait between each set of a minute?
And I would like to make a request!!
Could you make a video about losing bf please?
I dont have alot of fat, only on my belly and I cant lose it!!
Another great video! I did this today, damn it was a killer work out
Im working out in the gym in like 7 months and they never stop hurting ... some says that's normal because if they hurt, u worked out good and they will grow but some says that i dont consume much proteins to repair them ...

Sweet, gotta try this out
Great tip! Thanks Lee!

3 days is fine as long as you work everymuscle for instance do this
monday back and biceps and abs
wednesday chest and triceps
saturday shoulders and legs
it could be because you have alot of lactic acid, it will start hurting less
Anybody know a good work to rest ratio don’t wanna rest too much but don’t wanna get trapped under the bar or get an injury either
With weight training you need to rest at least 1 minute between sets. Don't rush your workouts, the idea is to fatigue from muscular exhaustion, not cardiovascular exhaustion.

Thanks coach, you really are the best!
I dont think alot of these coaches on youtube answer all the fan questions.
Will take a look haha :D
Im kind of new to Gym. But im kinda confused... is TUT only for the people that are big and want to get shredded? Or can beginners do this too, building muscle aswell?
As a beginner I recommend negatives and lots of compound exercises. Negative pull ups are gonna give you strong lats and arms in no time.
im going have to take some time off cause of my shoulders dam probably going to have with draws lol
What is up at 2:45
Honestly for me tut trainin' is much less intense than normal trainin', unless I go for the weights that feel "unhealthy" and I struggle to control, but then 10 clean, moderate speed reps are difficult too, so...

Thank u for the tip
Yep, I know ;) Thanks for the reply. Hope I can get as close to Arnold's physique as close as possible NATURALLY :P Got lots of good years in front of me !
First view. good video lee. thanks for making these for us
Thanks!!!
I guess you could really go any speed you want since the time under tension is gonna be 1min no matter what.
cool! i needed this, ALOT
U r the best coach -3 !
brilliant!
I just heard from Someone tut is the stupid concept, your force output reduced when you go slow during concentric phase than fast
+santhor hw I'm sure they were an expert
I imagine you would have to use a lighter weight than you normally would.
Thanks Lee. ;-)
I can see you have been watching the twins they just got talking about that a week ago
a gym boss timer works great for this type of training
its normal for them to hurt, you will get used to it and there will be less pain
Less time at the end or beginning of the rep
always appreciate the answers, "my son"
sounds and looks like Mike Mentzers HIT Training....
holy shit lee, this kicked my ass!
get to me after lee replys to you im kinda curous me self?
TUT works better with faster reps and no rest at the top :)
squats would be hellish I bet
Wrong! He locks his knees................
time under tension is stupid. I could do 15 reps at a 1-2 tempo which would be 45 seconds. Or i could do 5 reps with a 9 second negative. Still get 45 seconds under temp. But i would never do a 9 second negative, because its stupid.
Love your video Lee hayward, not trying to be rude to you, i just don't believe in TUT, keep dem videos coming though dude
so can you do thos with bicep curl haha jk
If time under tension is important do you even need to do reps. Can’t you just hole the weights in a position where you muscles are flexed for 60 seconds? Does the movement improve muscle growth?
Lee Hayward Many thanks for your reply, love your videos!
