Free game for all of you that read this all the way through. Accentuated eccentric training is a training modality in which the eccentric phase of an exercise is performed with a heavier load than the concentric phase. Simply put, an overloaded eccentric phase. With 2:1 accentuated eccentrics, you’re lifting a weight with two limbs, removing one before the eccentric, and then lowering under control. This means while using a heavier total weight than you could lift concentrically with one limb, you’re able to overload each individual limb with two times the normal load. By doubling the load on one limb, your body recruits and fatigues a greater number of muscle fibers, triggering greater levels of protein synthesis and muscle growth. Get after it. 🫡
