On this episode, we discuss considerations around ‘eccentric’ training. We first talk about the movements, build it into training, and then explore when and where it makes sense.

Time Stamps: 

Part 1: Tempo and Movement 

• One of the hardest topics to tackle! How Coach Bres found compelling research and results on both sides of the eccentric debate. (1:50)
• Defining eccentric and concentric MOVEMENTS (3:30) 
• Starting to talk about training. We often think about tempo training. (7:00) 
• Time changing, velocity constant. Talking about tempo in more detail (9:00)
• Most people are doing tempo training, even without numbers. The benefits of slow and in control. (13:00) 

Part 2: Getting into Eccentric Training 

• Equating things to time under tension. Trying to ‘go slow’ to increase work done. (16:00) 
• Inducing strength or power gains vs. hypertrophy. Separating the two. (19:00) 
• The difference between 5 reps at 80% and 5 reps at 80% slower….hypothetical versus practical. (20:00)
• Looking for muscle damage and hypertrophy (24:00) 
• Some of the concerns around too much muscle damage (28:00) 
• Positives of why you would incorporate eccentric into training. ‘You are stronger eccentrically than you are concentrically. (31:00) 
• Tying up loose ends on the subject – summarizing benefits (36:00) 
• Not having to ‘focus’ on eccentric as much as knowing it is in a well-rounded training program (40:00)
