About your point 5: Don't you think you achieve maximum muscle growth when the total time for an exercise is about 40 to 60 seconds?
This would mean that using too light weights - unless the reps are done very fast - would lead to a long exercise duratation, and thus rather improving endurance than strenght?
No. This is secondary to the effort applied in the set. One could lift foe 40-60 seconds, but if they are far away from muscular failure, it’s not a stimulating set. And using light weights (10-20+) has a historical record of being extremely effective for a significant percentage of trainees. The duration of the set is also affected by the lifting tempo as well. Viewed holistically, the TUT doesn’t tell you how effective the training is or is not
