your veiws?

I think that TUT is very important and often overlooked, when people talk about what rep range to use is 8 better than 10 etc etc. 5 slow controled reps can have the same TUT as a set of 10 reps that are just hammered up and down. I think that people often 'cheat' and lift too heavy without good form, without full range of movement and far too fast, but hey it looks/sounds good that they can 'lift' x amount.
