Instead, I'm referring to prolonging the duration of the eccentric portion of each rep. Rather than simply lowering the weight in the easiest way possible, use a 4 to 5 second eccentric phase on each rep.

The concentric phase helps hold strength, but the eccentric phase extends the time of the muscle under tension, which increases the micro tears of the muscle and in turn makes the muscle grow bigger.

So the goal of your training should be to focus on the concentric phase and minimize the time spent in the eccentric phase.

Most people underestimate the importance of eccentric training because they don't know that there is more mechanical load per motor unit during the eccentric phase of an exercise, and the reason for this is that eccentric contraction involves fewer motor units.

For example, if you use bands on a lat pulldown, the eccentric phase will be harder than the concentric phase, which can not be achieved with free weights and translates to greater muscle damage.

A standard tempo on a movement like a bench press might be as follows: 2 -0-1, which is 2 seconds down during the eccentric phase when you're lowering the weight to your chest, no pause (when you change from eccentric to concentric) and 1 second up when you lifting the bar upwards.

For example, you can try a 3 -1-1 tempo, which adds another second to the eccentric phase and a 1 - second pause at the bottom.

In other words, first he performed three sets consisting of 12 reps, in which he took three seconds to lower down the weight during the eccentric phase.

You should focus on lifting explosively during the concentric phase and slow down the tempo on the eccentric phase.

You can take advantage of this fact by increasing the TUT (time under tension) of the eccentric phase of the exercise.

«Building momentum by swinging your arms when doing a move like a bicep curl or a tricep push - down sacrifices results by not controlling the eccentric phase, and also increases your risk of injury,» says Irv Rubenstein, PhD, exercise physiologist and founder of STEPS Fitness, a science - based fitness facility in Nashville, Tenn..

You can place them at the beginning of your chest or triceps routine and perform a lower number of reps with emphasis on the eccentric phase, or you can use them as workout finishers and get a great final pump!

When you pause squeeze in the contracted pose and use a turn between the concentric and eccentric phases.

For example, when you do the squat, the eccentric phase is when you lower the bar to the bottom of the squat position, and the concentric phase is when you push it back up.

Increase momentum in the concentric phase and add resistance to the eccentric phase of your sit ups with this version of the Core Hammer Slam.

This is the eccentric phase of the movement and partners with the force of gravity making it even more challenging.

During the downward portion of the movement (eccentric phase) the musculature of the anterior deltoids (shoulder) and pectoralis major (the pecs) along with your core are activated.

Is this to eliminate the eccentric phase?

Kettlebell swings are ideal for strengthening the posterior chain because of the way their eccentric phase increases innervation of intrafusal muscle fibers.

The SSC is a natural type of muscle function in which muscle is stretched (eccentric phase) immediately before being contracted (concentric phase).

As always, exhale during the concentric phase as you pull up and inhale on the return down during the eccentric phase.

Perhaps it needs to be lengthened, and this can be achieved with squatting, as the glutes and pelvic floor muscles go through an eccentric phase of lengthening during the descent and are on full stretch at the bottom of a squat.

Since pushing the sled doesn't include an eccentric phase, it makes it easier to tolerate and won't fry your muscle fibers.

The eccentric phase (muscle stretching) of any exercise is when most of the muscular damage occurs and the main cause of post-training soreness.

When you perform the eccentric phase, stretch the muscles as far as possible without letting the shoulders round or the spine move out of position.

If the target is hypertrophy (muscle growth), than I believe that both the concentric and eccentric phases should be done at 4 sec.

For example, when you do a bench press, pushing up the bar is the «positive» phase (also known as the concentric phase), lowering the bar down to your chest is the «negative» phase (also known as the eccentric phase).

You'll know how strong your hip flexors are when you can squat lower, and your knees grow farther apart during the eccentric phase of the squat.

Superslow training places tension on muscle fibers throughout the entire movement, both concentric and eccentric phases.

A plyometric effort is, when the body makes use of the so called stretch - shortening cycle where the muscle is rapidly stretched in the eccentric phase, followed by a rapid shortening of the muscle in the concentric phase.

On the muscular system, because the eccentric phase is done with additional loads, on the nervous system, because there is a potentiation effect when you let go of the dumbbells and the nervous system sends a stronger signal to the muscle fiber to fire.

All work sets should be done with a controlled (but NOT slow) eccentric phase and an explosive concentric phase.

Eccentric phase is the stretching phase (lowering your body during the squat, or lowering your body during a pullup).

Use can use an interval timer to accuately keep tempo (for example 3 seconds during the eccentric phase and 1 second during the concentric phase).

Importantly, this greater efficiency translates to lower muscle activation (measured by EMG), as well as a smaller metabolic cost in the eccentric phase compared to the concentric phase, when using the same external force (Bigland - Ritchie & Woods, 1976; Duchateau & Enoka, 2016).

Negative Reps is a technique where we only stress the muscle on this eccentric phase of the movement.

This means that force production is greater (and more efficient) in the eccentric phase than the concentric phase, because passive elements resist lengthening of the muscle fibers in the eccentric phase, but not in the concentric phase.

Eccentric training differs from accentuated eccentric (also called eccentric overload) training, which involves working hard in both concentric and eccentric phases, but with an even greater load in the eccentric phase.

This is the eccentric phase.

Comparing the face - pull exercise, the researchers found no difference in trapezius muscle activity during the concentric or eccentric phases.

This also contributes to the eccentric phase more efficient than the concentric phase, which means that relative muscular endurance (repetition strength) is greater.

They report that the medial gastrocnemius muscle activity was superior during the concentric phase compared to the eccentric phase in the narrow stance only, while there was no difference between phases during the wide stance condition.

In the simplest terms, plyometric training can be described as any activity that involves the rapid stretching of a muscle (eccentric phase) immediately followed by a rapid shortening of that muscle (concentric phase).

In contrast, with the same absolute load (load lifted in both movements equal to 90 % of overhead squat), there was no difference in gastrocnemius muscle activity during the concentric phase yet greater muscle activity during the eccentric phase when performing the overhead squat.
