Front squat at 4010 for 6 reps

Exercises done at specfic tempo has numerous benefits.
- Tension is critical for max strength development
- for max strength, highest speed possible on concentric
- slow speed= more metabolic adaptations
- easier to gain strength at slow speeds versus high speed
-variation in tempo is critical for long term strength development
- tempo creates control within the lift
- tempo allows athletes to work on a weak part of their lift
