Attentional focus refers to where you direct your mental effort during an exercise—whether you’re focusing on your body or the movement outcome. It plays a key role in how well you perform, how efficiently your muscles work, and even how much muscle you can build over time. This article explores different focus strategies and how to use them to improve strength, skill execution, and hypertrophy in calisthenics.
Exercise tempo is the timing of each phase of a movement—how long you lift, pause, lower, and hold at the bottom. It’s a key variable in training that influences muscle fatigue, control, and adaptation. In this article, we’ll explore how tempo is structured, how it affects training outcomes, and how to measure it effectively.
