We’ve all heard about the benefits of eccentric overload training, but it can be scary to leave familiar training habits behind in hope of better results. Would you be missing out if you gave up all concentric training and just worked on negatives? Today’s study reviewed examines this topic and leads to discussion about choosing potent training stimuli and the importance of context in any programming decisions.
