for muscle mass, or strength?

yes better but concentric movement is also important i forgot the specifics though lol.

for instance maybe at the end of of chest day do a few negatives on the bench press cant hurt.

that at least how i would incorporate eccentric training.




both? not to sure on this but i think it would certainly help with developing strength

i can't do legit pullups or chins so i'll do negatives instead and i can tell ya i've gotten alot better doing chins.

Both.

interesting
ill add some iso metric and eccentric lifts to all my workouts now.

It would be a better idea to just slow down the negative portion of all your lifts..i started to do that after listening to dorian yates training philosophies and such

do isometric stuff for your abs, like plank, or you can take a cable and hold the weight over your head and just hold that position for like as long as you can (forgot the name) since crunches/situps are bad for your spine. i've been do that stuff for my abs and its sick.

and what balla said just try and go slower when preforming the eccentric action when lifting is good, but it wouldn't hurt just throwing in a negative bench on chest or negative pull ups on back day or negative military press on shoulders every once and a while.

Like any exercise regimen u can't just keep doin the same thing or u will plateau... this is just one way of lifting... u wouldn't lift like this for sports or anything like tthat....more bodybuilding specific...n even then u don't wanna always do this...gotta change it up

This info is legit, I'm surprised some people didn't know this. I learned this when I was just beginner at bodybuilding, reading somewhere else on some website.

edit: but i did learn something else new from this thread.

Gonna love d2jsp's collective information
