Well I've been lifting for 12 years now. And even when I was just a teenager lifting I used various tempos. Some times you want to emphasize on control on the way down and a power lift on the way up. Or hold on the bottom for a few seconds. I don't see why a non experienced lifter can't focus on tempo.
But maybe I should have made it clearer in my origional post, I know what tempo is when refering to lifting. I just was trying to figure out what Waterbury was talking about when he said 30x0. I have always heard it used as Ironkitten said 3x0x1. Hopefully this will clear things up a bit.
