Hi Guys just ws reading this month's Issue of Mens Health (which by the way seems to be leaning more and more toward advocating HST Principles lately) and I came upon an article which seemed to be very HST freindly otherwise but in addition the writer mentioned something to the effect that the optimum TUL (Time Under Load) for a muscle to induce growth is 90 - 120 seconds)
I believe the Writer was Alan Cosgrove? I will confirm when I get home later...
ANyway, what I understand from what he was saying, is that new research suggests that say we were doing 1 exercise for chest - (lets say Bench) and t takes us 4 seconds to do one rep we would have to do (100/4=25) approximately 25 reps in total regardless of how many sets it takes to induce the optimal hypertrophic response
What are your takes on that 90 - 120 seconds TUL guys?
