Exercise: Muscle Workouts

 

Negative reps
Tricks of the trade

There are little things you can do to trick your muscles into growth. Strip away fat and build your chest using the power of negative reps

In the lowering phase of the lift, our muscles extend. This is something most people ignore, concentrating on the contraction phase. But by focusing on extension, you'll generate force from a completely new angle, creating the potential for new growth. When you do this it's called negative reps.

The first set of each exercise here is to be done as negative reps. Take three to six seconds to lower the weight in each of these reps and, if possible, ask a training partner to assist you in lifting the weight. Rest for one minute between sets and two minutes between each exercise. Leave two to three days' rest between workouts.
