When targeting your shoulders, a ’tempo’ approach can significantly strengthen your muscles.

A ‘2:1:3’ tempo slows down your movement and activates a specific muscle. Two seconds down, one second pause and three seconds up is a common example. Slow activation increases micro-tears in your muscles (don’t worry, this is a good thing). When accompanied with good nutrition it promotes muscle growth.
