All work sets should be done with a controlled (but NOT slow) eccentric phase and
an explosive concentric phase.
This phase appears as a break, and the shorter it is, the more strongly and effectively the contraction of the muscle will happen; —
explosive concentric phase, in which the muscle shortens.

One of my main coaching cues to my athletes and clients is to always be as
explosive as possible with your movements during the
concentric phase.
Cal Dietz explains the isometric
phase as the energy station that transfers absorbed eccentric energy to
explosive concentric contractions.
For the Triphasic main exercises utilise compound exercises and use about 80 % of 1RM for movements with low quality repetitions such as 4 sets of 3 reps.. For eccentric focussed movement use a 5 - 6s tempo down during the eccentric
phase followed by an
explosive concentric.
Cal Dietz states «Training the
concentric phase to perform
explosive dynamic movements improves intermuscular coordination, allowing for the inhibition of the antagonist muscle and resulting in maximal RFD».
