127: Tempo Training for Women Who Want More Strength Without Longer Workouts

Training harder and moving faster doesn’t automatically make you stronger, especially when your progress has stalled. For many women, the real issue is that reps are rushed, stimulus is cut short, and effort looks intense without actually driving adaptation. We dive deeper into this in the latest Broads Podcast solo episode. We also chat about why slowing down builds more strength, why rushing reps makes people feel weaker than they should, why you are actually stronger during the lowering phase of a lift, and how tempo training works best when used strategically instead of everywhere. If your workouts feel hard but your strength is not moving, or you keep chasing heavier weights without feeling more solid or confident, this episode will shift how you think about effort.  What's Discussed: (02:24) Why tempo training increases results without longer workouts (03:26) The four phases of every lift and why each phase matters (04:02) How to read tempo prescriptions like 3110 in real training (09:14) Where tempo fits best, accessories, deload weeks, and plateaus (15:18) Why tempo should be limited to one to three exercises per workout (15:55) Example lower body programming using tempo selectively (16:58) Example upper body programming with tempo for accessories only (17:49) Why using too much weight defeats the purpose of tempo training Check out more from Broads:Website: https://www.broads.app Check out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.com   Instagram: @taralaferrara Youtube: https://youtube.com/@TaraLaferrara
