Those 3 or 5 sets don't include the <i>warm up</i> sets using less weight. 5x5 (or 3x5) programs use a few compound exercises and they're usually considered a <i>full body</i> workout scheme. 3×5 or 5×5 is shorthand for a simple (yet effective) exercise program that uses 3 sets of 5 repetitions — or 5 sets of 5 repetitions during the work sets.

At the moment I am trying to use a method of lowering the weight for 4 seconds, holding for 2, then lifting for 2, and repeating as I was told this is a good way to gain mass, opposed to a 2,1,1 for explosiveness/toning Would you mind briefly explaining what 3×3/5×5 refers to?

When i started lifting fast tempo heavy weights ( 5x5 , 3x3) i gained weight and mass again. and i am a slow twitch dominant person I tired TUT before and felt weaker, and became smaller after 1 month of trying this method.

This is somewhat different than "time under tension". Atlas' theory applies to <i>isometric exercise</i> while <i>TUT</i> applies to resistance training through a range of motion. Since I'd love to expand this article and make it more useful for readers, I hope you'll correct me if there's something I'm failing to understand about Charles Atlas' contributions to exercise theory.
