Advanced Training Tip of the Day: Eccentric Overload Training |
Want to get stronger while looking like you have superhero muscles? Eccentric overload training focuses on the lowering phase of a lift—think slowly lowering a heavy barbell during a squat. This phase causes more muscle damage (the good kind) and sparks serious growth. To try it, use a heavier weight than usual (with a spotter) or add resistance bands to your lift. Bonus: It’s also great for injury prevention and building stability. Just don’t skip the recovery—those sore quads will thank you later. |
