Workout Focus: Eccentrics

In this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson delves into eccentric muscle contractions. Learn why the often-overlooked "lowering phase" of strength training exercises is more beneficial than lifting, and how focusing on eccentrics can lead to greater strength, hypertrophy, and even faster recovery. From practical workout tips to groundbreaking research, Luke explores the magic of eccentrics, their role in targeting fast-twitch muscle fibers, and their applications for athletes, aging populations, and rehabilitation.
