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.

Ok, didn't know your experience level so it's all good then. I was always under the impression that a novice lifter didn't have to worry too much about the tempo because (s)he will make gains regardless of whether or not (s)he does, say, a bench press fast or slow.
30x0 sounds like a VERY long negative lift
