Which tempo should I follow when performing the rep based exercises? So far I have been attempting to follow the exact same tempo as demonstrated in the videos (although I have not seen this explicitly stated anywhere). Sorry if this is pedantic but I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly.

F1 Rep Based Exercise - Tempo

I just follow the tempo that the athlete is demonstrating, apart from pushups (slower tempo).
I'm not sure it matters. I don't like artificially slowing down movements unless there's a reasn for it (like the exaggerated negative dips). The more important factor is to be totally sure you are killing all momentum at the top and bottom with something like a 1 second static hold.

This. Just make sure you're doing each movement with control, without any excess momentum or bouncing around.
