## Caption

Once or twice a year, we run our THRIVE small group folks through a 12-week Tri-phasic tempo strength training cycle.

During these 12 weeks, we most definitely lift some weight (daily, almost) and we do so slowly and with long pauses in weak and vulnerable positions of the lift.

“Why the hell would you do that? Why not just lift the dang weight?”

3 reasons:
→ Tendon and connective tissue health: Long, heavy contractions build joint resilience. Moving weights slow = training tendons.

→ Increased time under tension (TUT): Slower reps equates to keeping the the system under more tension. More tension = more gainz in all areaz.

→ It’s safer: Lighter loads lifted slowly allow for better control, enhanced movement quality and overall safer movement.

If you want to get strong, all while building titanium joints and carbon fiber tendons, slow down.

Slow is strong folks.
