395lb Supramaximal Eccentric Front Squat (Jump Science)

This is a video showing my 395lb supramaximal eccentric front squat performed to a parallel depth, which is 10lb heavier than the last time I performed this variation on 6/17/23.

High intensity eccentric exercise has been demonstrated by other studies to induce significant increases in muscle fascicle lengths as a result of the muscle fibers growing in length. Beyond being advantageous to sports performance, this adaptation reduces the risk of muscle strain injuries. With the front squat, supramaximal eccentric training also allows the core musculature, which acts isometrically to stabilize the trunk, to be overloaded since concentric strength of the knee and hip extensors is no longer the limiting factor.
