Is time under tension a meme, or is it the most important factor of training? If it's not a meme, doesn't that discount Mike Mentzer's entire philosophy?

>is X the most or least important thing

If time under tension was all you needed then people doing wall sits for time would have the biggest thighs

I've been doing speed reps to try and max out peak force and it does a lot better than that shit maybe for size but I already do well enough volume and wait a fucking minute I'm doing the same thing but better.

It depends on what you are trying to do, but the basic general principle is that volume matters more than anything. Number of reps * weight will always determine the results. For strength, higher weight matters. For hypertrophy, higher reps matters. If "time under tension" means higher reps, then yes, this will give you better hypertrophy.
