JOOverloaded Eccentrics
.
We’re stronger eccentrically than we are concentrically. The amount will vary based upon the individual, but around 20% is the “standard”. What that means is that if I can squat 200lbs, I’m probably strong enough to “controlled” lower 240lbs.
.
The weight releasers allow us to isolate a specific adaptation we want in the training process and attack it with a lot of intensity. Both of these clips are with more than 100% of their max, with the hooks on the bar. These are examples of our “intensity” day within this eccentric emphasized training block.
.
My friend @coachtimcaron wrote a book specifically about this concept and goes into great detail about the intricacies of it. Can’t recommend “strength deficit” enough. Also, my friend @coachalanbishop opened my eyes to these last spring down in Houston. Probably wouldn’t be doing these now without his insight into utilizing them.
