Research shows that the longer you keep the muscle under tension the more hormone is excreted and the more muscle you will grow, this is not directly correlated with strength gains.
Bodybuilding is different from strength training but as I suspect you already know sick money, most of the bodybuilders in the local gyms don't lift with any kind of control/tempo. The time under tension is true for hypertrophy when doing more volume/body part to increase size. Muscle get bigger by doing lots of exercises/sets for that body part and TUT. Even with less volume the time under tension concept works for general fitness folks to increase strength to.
I've seen your posts and assume you have similiar education as I. That's not to say we have to agree on everything, but I think it's cool. LAte
