That's not what time under tension refers to. But again, I didn't explain it because it's not worth worrying about, so just...don't worry about it
TUT is the time spent under the bar,or are you talking about some other version.

No Strong Lifts 5x5 is not a book. It's just a program from that website. My point was that you shouldn't be choosing that just because you don't need to dish out any cash for it, and if that's why you picked it, reconsider. Because SS and NROL are great books.So the 5x5 thing is a book?
I read the guide and it contains all I need to know, I think.
Ill just do 5x5 and have a smaller pause (instead of the 1-2 min pause i used to have) instead of 3x10.
What else is there to change?
What do you mean a smaller pause as opposed to 3x10? If you mean time between sets, you're going to need more time, not less.
There's not "another version." Time spent under the bar is simply not what time under tension means.TUT is the time spent under the bar,or are you talking about some other version.
naike, i don't know if anyone has mentioned anything about this but make sure to workout your LEGS. Legs are the biggest muscles on your body. The more muscle you have on your body the more fat gets burned etc etc. you really can't go wrong with working out legs (it's extremely important)
I'll have to admit, I haven't trained my legs in 1 or 2 weeks :/
But what about my routine?
Is a 5x5 routine good? (Should I also use it for my legs?)
And should I just continue training basically all muscles in 1 day, or do something like, pushs, then pulls etc, or like shoulders/chest on 1 day, and then biceps/triceps etc..
Whats better?
(Would be cool if these questions were answered when i wake up so i can start doing it from tomorrow on)

it's free and has everything spelled out for you
I would advise you not to focus on low-fat and -carbs, but good fat and carbs. Avoid unsaturated fats, but enjoy olive oil, nuts, and avocados. Avoid processed, simple carbs (sugar, white flour), but enjoy healthy, complex carbs (vegetables, whole grains).

Good point, will look a bit closer what I eat.

its the time your muscles spend under tension,which is when you are under the bar or lifting in any form,if you know another TUT please can you explain it.
Hey.
I'm going to the gym for my 2nd month now, and I'm almost going there every day.
Now I always warm up with the exercise bike for around 15 minutes, until I've been sweating for a while. After that I do my "regular" training cycle, so I'm basically just training all of my upper body. This takes around 1 hour or a bit more I'd guess, but I'm not sure, but really, just till I'm really worked up.
Now after that I usually use the exercise bike again for 10-15 minutes.
The weird thing is, I'm eating about as much I used to eat, except I don't eat any fat/unhealthy foods anymore, but still I've just gained ~4 (8.8 lbs) weight.
Does anyone have an explanation, or any tips on how to improve.
I'm a bit overweight so it'd be really great to lose some weight, now it doesn't have to happen as fast as possible, but even slowly, would be great as my main goal is still training my muscles.
It's all about the nutrition side of things if you're looking to lose weight. What you used to eat is probably the problem. Eat clean fresh, unprocessed, whole foods and less of it. Your exercise intensity is also probably a bit low. Train compound movements and do multiple exercises back to back before resting. To lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. Simply put- eat less move more.
