S&C Power Upper 100kg ECC Training

ECCENTRIC TRAINING

Reduces injury risk. The stronger a muscle is in the eccentric phase, the lower the risk of tissue damage.
Increases tendon hypertrophy, which allows more elastic potential energy to be stored during absorption (deceleration).
Desensitizes the Golgi tendon organs (supramaximal eccentric work).
Improves exercise technique (slow eccentrics).
Increases hypertrophy of the distal portion of the muscle, as well as the muscle–tendon microstructures.

By training eccentrically, you develop two physiological processes that influence strength development: the stretch reflex and the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). Every dynamic movement starts with an eccentric action.
