but research shows that lowering weights —
the eccentric action — can get us more results since safely and slowly lowering heavy things enables us to generate more force
Lifting weights — the concentric action — gets the most attention, but research shows that lowering weights —
the eccentric action — can get us more results since safely and slowly lowering heavy things enables us to generate more force.
Higher training status, using accommodating resistance in the form of chains, overloading
the eccentric action, utilizing a partial ROM, and lifting with a hand grip between 165 — 200 % of biacromial width are all associated with greater 1RM bench presses.
Furthermore, Van den Tillaar & Ettema (2009) found that the anterior deltoid muscle activity increased more substantially from
the eccentric action to the pre-sticking period of the concentric action in successful compared with unsuccessful 1RM attempts.
Greater training status, using accommodating resistance in the form of chains, overloading
the eccentric action, utilizing a partial ROM, and performing the lift with a hand grip between 165 — 200 % of biacromial width are all associated with greater 1RM bench presses.
