Slow Eccentric For Most GAINS

But then i can't ego lift that extra 10 pounds

can’t lie these jacked mfs got me jacked as a mf

Something that helped with my mindset: Count the rep at the end of the eccentric instead of the at the top of the concentric. By making the rep "count" only after the slow eccentric it reminds you to ensure quality on both ends of the rep.

Jared Feather has the cleanest rep I have ever seen. I’ve never seen anyone lift with that level of intention. I hope to get there mentally someday.

Sam sulek needs to hear this. Dude will grow better. He bounces a lot and forget the negative part of the rep a lot

I started training like this about 2 months ago thanks to your incredibly good advice and have noticed incredible gains. I had to drop my ego and lower the weight but I have never been bigger or stronger

Been working out for 25 years. I’m in great shape. I went to another level at 50 years old when I started focusing on concentric eccentric. It’s real and it gave me new life in my workouts. Thanks buds!

This has been a game changer for me. Thanks to you and Dr. Mike for all your tips.

[Empyreanis]

Preach! Ever since Dr Mike gave me this advice, I feel like my time at the gym has been more impactful.

Get Sam and his gallon of chocolate milk on the channel and show him the way!

Getting your mind around doing less weight or reps is the hardest part but the concept absolutely works.

I was wondering why leg extensions seemed to not do much for me then I realized I was absolutely speedrunning the eccentric

[tmiller]

The most real “But it’s okay!😏” I’ve ever seen lmao

[MyCharleyhorse]

Exactly true, control, control, control is going to generate best results for beginner and intermediate weight training. I can't speak to advanced training . . . as then sometimes the 'rules' don't seem to matter as much.

I think what's most important from this is that doing it fast works, but it can lead to injury. The reason is that you aren't training your tendons as much when performing a fast eccentric motion. Therefore, if done slower, it will help promote stronger tendon growth, allowing your concentric motions to become stronger without hurting yourself.

YES people don't know how to train, everyone can bounce weight up and down..do it SLOW and really train for hypertrophy

[retrochillvibovenko]

That attitude changed my gym experience forever, I am surprised how I never got injured throughout all those years of lifting too much, without full control of motion

[blueghost-ksto]

Just started training like this last week. Man I haven't been this sore in a long time. There is definitely a big benefit here. It will be interesting to see what it does to me in a few weeks.

Fast but controlled cocentric
Isometric hold at the end
Slowly milk the eccentric
Rest a bit while letting the weight stretch out your muscle(helps to flex out your antagonistic muscle)

Repeat

Is that right?
