I'm still curious about actual rep tempo and what role that plays in growth. If maximizing work is the measure of growth than all that really matters is how much acceleration I can put into a weight. Obviously proper form plays a role, just a difficult balance between ensuring proper form and dumping as much force into a rep.
I ascribe to the possible bro science of longer eccentric motion being a useful tactic in my workouts. This is a strange part of a the rep to mechanically measure work given you are essentially going with as opposed to fighting the force of gravity depending on the exercise.
This kind of stuff fascinates me because you would figure we would have solved what the ideal conditions are for a given outcome. But there is too much money is selling snake oil because the actual answers are boring and unpleasant. Loved the read.
