Topic #331
How fast
should my Speed of
Negatives be? - Eccentric Contractions
Quick bit of
information:
Concentric Contraction
- when your
muscles exert force as they shorten (i.e. a curl)
Eccentric Contraction
- when your
muscles exert force as they lengthen (i.e. straightening your arm) -
these
exercises are often called negatives.
Which
contraction produces more
force?
Although we'd imagine
the arm can
produce more force while shortening, it's actually the eccentric
contractions
that can produce more force.
Because of this,
you've probably
heard that you should bring your weights down slowly so you get an
extra
workout. The question is, how slowly? Researchers
from
the University of Southern California used MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging)
to monitor muscle firing and found the rapid eccentric contraction of
the
upper arm activated more than slow eccentric contraction of the upper
arm.
Hence, 2 seconds to lockout works your muscles better than 10
seconds
to lockout. More weight faster will work your muscles more than
less
weight slower.
