‼️How many times coach told you go slow down (eccentric movement) and speed up (concentric movement) with any exercise ( chest fly, dead lift, dumbbell curls…)
🚷And still you rushed…DO NOT DO THAT, LISTEN TO YOUR COACH…
❓WHY❓
💡💡The eccentric contraction manifested by resistance to external force is greater by 40%, depending on the state of specific training.
✅Differentiation between maximally isometric and maximally eccentric muscle force determines muscle deficit.
➡️It is 25-40% for trained extensors of the upper limbs, and about 10%-25% for extensors of the lower limbs.
‼️The eccentric exercise process increases muscle strength without a significant increase in muscle mass.
🔀Which is an advantage for physical activities where weight gain is not desirable….
💯So if you want improvements in you performance ( let’s say basketball) take more care of eccentric movements in gym . But if you wanna gain more muscles mass and be bodybuilder keep on with just concentric.
