Unlock Extreme Strength: The Eccentric Rep Secret That's Changing the Game!

[@salxonico]

Yes this is part of the constant tension in the stretch.

[@totallyraw1313]

Chris, how do you think Anatoly Powerlifter got so strong at such a light body weight?

[@ramblr5900]

Without a spotter can I used a Foam Block on the bench with 70-80% with 5sec descend? OR use smith machine and have two bands anchored on the top providing resistance as I lower the bar? @THIBARMY

[@littlebigonecalgary]

If you suspend bands from the top of the squat rack with bar inside the bands, does this have the eccentric effect you are talking about, or not?

[@Ou8y2k2]

Yes, but it reduces the concentric stimulus too much since the bands lift a lot of weight back up. You might as well ditch the bands, and use a slightly heavier weight, control it eccentrically, pause at the bottom, and explode upwards.

[@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans]

The point is to get a weight up that you can't perform a concetric rep on without a spotter.​@@Ou8y2k2

It seems that I can hear voice of Sarcev (or maybe Šarčev) calling you out on this one...:) I'm just kidding. Great series, coach...

2:30 LÖL :))

What's the closest thing someone can do to this with out a partner?

[@justgivemeanumber8215]

one way is to somehow concentrically use two limbs and eccentrically one For example, an inverted row works really well with that.

[@afishl1]

@justgivemeanumber8215 yeah I do this for some exercises as well like tricep pull downs and bicep curls

[@KenanTurkiye]

Push ups.....2 & 1 arm combo ohh wait, one needs to be able to do one arm push ups don't they :)))

[@afishl1]

@KenanTurkiye you can start with 1 arm push ups with knees on the ground and work your way up. I have total respect for creative calisthenics, they can hold people over for a long long time til they would need a gym, but the gym can help in other ways

[@KenanTurkiye]

@@afishl1 Thank you for that 'mini-instructions'. Yeah calisthenics is cool. I'm a gym-bro-scientist who can one arm push up even with my hefty weight. :) not perfectly but I like to think I can, motivational thinking and reality mixed together. :)))
