I recently started hypertrophy II in NROL and I have a few questions about tempo. I understand that in the tempo 321, 3 is the lowering or eccentric phase of the lift, 2 is the pause, and 1 is the concentric phase. My question has to do with the pause and where it should be in the lift for: rows (cable and bent over), pull-ups/chin-ups and lat pull-downs, and dips.

When performing cable seated rows, where is the pause in a 321 tempo? When the arms are out or when the arms are in close to the body? Same for pull-downs/ups and dips?
