Extra Instructions
Team, there are two main areas that we are targeting relatively early in this cycle: Hypertrophy and Movement Control. Hypertrophy/Strength: The extended time under tension stimulates muscle growth and improves strength. In Crossfit or for all sports for that matter where strength and muscle endurance are essential, tempo squats can be an effective training tool. Movement Control: The controlled nature of tempo squats helps you develop better movement control and technique. It enforces proper form, ensuring that you are not using momentum to complete repetitions. This can lead to better lifting mechanics in functional movements often found in sports like CrossFit or weightlifting.
