Time-Under-Tension

Forget fads. Forget bro-science. This is the lifting manual for lifters who've had enough of wasted sets, fake intensity, and recycled myths. Time-Under-Tension: The Lifting Laws That Matter strips resistance training to its essential, evidence-based core-and leaves no room for excuses. Whether you're a decade deep into training or finally ready to take your workouts seriously, this book dissects the physiology, psychology, and programming principles that actually build muscle and strength over the long term.

Each chapter breaks down one fundamental concept-mechanical tension, progressive overload, training frequency, deloading, CNS fatigue, and more-with zero fluff and no mercy. You'll learn why your "muscle confusion" isn't helping, why most warmups are a waste of time, and how to train around pain without turning fragile. You'll also get a sharp look at the delusions lifters cling to-like chasing the perfect program, mistaking soreness for progress, or thinking bodyweight equals maintenance.

Written by an expert in evidence-based strength training, this is a book for lifters who don't want gimmicks-they want results. Whether you're cutting, bulking, rebuilding, or just refusing to stall out in mediocrity, these are the principles you'll keep coming back to. Clear. Brutal. Uncompromising. Because the iron doesn't care about your feelings-and this book doesn't either.

If you're ready to lift with purpose, train with precision, and finally understand the science behind the barbell, this is your last training book.
