if this wasnt already added or i missed it.

U fatigue faster on concentric phase of your set.

So it would help to have a spotter to help you get the weight up and you
controlling it on the essentric phase would get you 2-3 extra reps.

Some people dont have partners so they like to jerk the weight up
ofc this is not much of a benefit and depletes the phosphate realy quickly

other then that its all you need to know

you can focus on eccentric phases in ur workout regardless of having a partner.

Yes u can. Depends on the exercise and it is definitely easier with
A partner/trainer there to spot you. Wouldn't u agree?

Did u write a guide on static contractions yet?
Cause I was gona pull out Pete Sisco here

all exercises benefit from eccentric contractions, but "eccentric workouts" with a partner are indeed better due to lifting more weight than you concentrically can by not having to deal with the concentric phase.

im not writing any more guides to this subforum. completely undeserving.

Lol no one asked u to.
I can happily write them all up.

[the power development of strong and proficient athletes.

DOMS
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, the phenomenon which the trainee receives a day or two days after the workout. The muscles are damaged, torn, constantly in repairs during that period, and are extremely sensitive to further contractions due to their periodic weakness.

Fact: Eccentric contractions hurt more than Concentric or Isometric contractions. Meaning, they cause even greater DOMS and provide with an overall greater and more efficient workout outcome.

Why So Slow?

As we've learned, muscle contraction works best when during Concentric contraction, the movement needs to be slow and fast when during Eccentric contraction.
What are the recommended time periods?

In every possible exercise or routine, the most recommended time period of Concentric contraction is 2 seconds. The recommended time period of Eccentric contraction is 4 seconds. Indeed, 4 seconds - 200% the time of Concentric contraction.[/QUOTE]

ANother rand preaching googled info like he invented it.

Fyi, idiot.

Eccentric training leads to extreme structural damage when abused too often.
Eccentric reps should only be done as a final touch on your last rep, never should a whole routine be based around them

Please do NOT post any more "Guides" here, because you googled some randhat web site that sounded like it knew what it was talking about, then tried to pass it off as your own shit without referencing it.

You are not only a fraud, but a fraud who doesn't even make sure the shit he stole is correct.

Stay the fuck out

would love to see the webpage you think i took this from.
i write everything on my own. granted, the youtube vid isn't mine, but it suits the said context perfectly.

don't really need to prove myself to randoms like you and dux.
ps l2quote



u couldn't make anymore nonsense just now lol.

Everyone watch the exposed, enraged ranthat explode.

just to clear that out, eccentric contractions require less motor unit atp output, and enforces more nervous system interaction between mysion/action filaments, maintaining constant steady vibration, in opposition to concentric contractions, which are faster, require more atp, produce more lactic acid, and develop strength & volume at a lower rate.

that structural damage thumbsucked clown remark is completely off, since eccentric phases are slower, a lot more controlled and in fact are safer for joint movement over the axis angles.

take your own advice and
