One of the most unique features of Essentrics® is our use of eccentric contractions (it’s even how we got our name!). 💪 In a concentric contraction (like a bicep curl), a muscle shortens up to 30% of its length. But in an eccentric contraction, a muscle can extend up to 70% of its length! ✨ By actively lengthening the muscle and strengthening it in that extended position, you’re training more of the muscle fibers to engage. Instead of working only within a shortened range (which limits the musc

Weighted Eccentric Training A Game Changer for Mobility🏋️Weighted eccentric training is a technique that focuses on the eccentric phase of a muscle contraction, where the muscle is lengthening as it contracts. This approach can completely change your approach to mobility training.💪The benefits of weighted eccentric training are numerous. A review found that it is effective at building both strength and flexibility, and it is even better than some forms of stretching for increasing your range o

2 Up 1 Down Eccentric Training For Strength & Muscle Gains Here’s some examples of working on 2 up 1 down lifts with @kaisafit , where we’ll use two limbs on the concentric as it would be hard to do with just one (too heavy), and then control the eccentric with just one limb (since we’re strong on the eccentric and take advantage of that). 4️⃣ Benefits Of Eccentric Strength 1️⃣ Increase Muscle & Strength: Controlled eccentrics provide greater muscular damage for Hypertrophy. Research shows that
