It's not referring to eccentric only exercise
it's more-so what your tempo should be on your normal movements as you go through
this is common knowledge that you should control your weight though (at least the negative)
but tbh I'm going to disagree with lightman a little here (that post was also made a long time ago), perhaps he could chime in.
Specifically the concentric portion, I think the studies are clear now that you should accelerate the bar (or db/whatever) as fast as possible. It's not that the weight has to actually MOVE fast, it's the intention to move it as fast as possible. It seems that's by far best for both strength and hypertrophy. Which is why speed work is largely futile and asinine.
Curious on this, but I was talking about this part of the post he made

One of the most effective training methods is the 'Super Maximal Eccentric Workout'.
In this method, the trainee will operate against weight which is 30% larger than his RM1. The concentric contraction, which is obviously unable to be performed due to 130% of maximal strength being applied, is performed by a 2nd party (Another trainee or a trainer), while the eccentric contractions will be performed solely by the trainee, in a slow and controlled manner. This method is designated to the power development of strong and proficient athletes.
I was just wondering when the best time to do it was. Always, after your regular workout, switch between the two every few weeks?
