Exploring Eccentric Contractions in Sports Science

ECCENTRIC training is SO MUCH MORE than just lifting heavy weights!

Marcin Lipski wants you to understand ECCENTRIC muscle actions are VERY different from their concentric counterparts. Plus, there are HEAPS of decelerations in practice. Yet, we have not approached it in a UNIQUE and ECCENTRIC-ONLY way in training. Try it!

In the 147th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul & Marcin discuss:

🔥  How ECCENTRIC muscle actions are completely DIFFERENT from everything else;

🧠 Why you NEED to use ECCENTRIC-ONLY training;

🚣🏻 An applied process that will help you LEARN, TRAIN & PRACTICE decelerations!
