Slow It Down
It often supersizes me how gym trainees can successfully perform the concentric portion of the lift, but unable to control the eccentric portion of the lift, even with that same load!
Start performing your negatives with more control while focusing on keeping tension where you want it.It's not uncommon to see trainees lose tension on the negative (eccentric) portion of a lift. They often let the load control their body mechanics rather than allowing the eccentric muscular contractions to maintain control of the load. If you can't control the load you're working with on the eccentric portion of the lift, then it's too heavy.
Leave your ego at the door when entering the gym and re-evaluate the efficiency of your training time. In my experience, my clients tend to make expeditious progress in the early stages of our relationship by applying these five tips I've shared with you here.
The next time you hit the gym, get ready to experience the pump of your life and connect with your musculature like you've never done before!
