... I am sure that depends on the exercise, so more specifically, what 'count' should I use for each rep? Example: For a lat pulldown should it take a count of 2 down, pause for 1, then two up? Or should it be whatever it is without swinging? What about curls? I have read some count to 6 down, pause for 2 then 6 up?!

I searched but can't seem to find my answer. People tend to agree on 6-15 rep ranges but not the amount of time spent during the rep.

Thanks for your opinions!
