I believe the "Time under Tension" style of training should be cycled as to your goals.
Example if you are trying to gain mass and muscle as we all mostly are there is a time where you need to focus on moving weight I am under belief a stronger muscle is a bigger muscle.....
In the same breath time under tension is very important to get the muscle and tendons tougher to enable them to lift more weight ....
An example for me would be to have one week out of 4 be where your reps go as follows...
Squats .... 4 second count down explode up for 10-12 reps at about 80% Max weight....
Charles Glass believes in this style of training and Chad Nichols used this specifically and most recently for "The Gift" Phil Heath in his 11 month off-season Phil was training veryvery fast rep range and I believe he got this type of training for buddy Jay Cutler who trains very fast and comments on this as he and I quote "Trains like a bull and fast reps, and it has always worked for me" Again this needs to go back to the best type of training for each individual...
Sorry if that was long winded hope it helps someone
