Why eccentrics WILL NOT "build a lot of muscle"

Aug 11, 2024
The hosts debunk the myth that slow eccentric training significantly boosts muscle growth. They explore the distinct effects of eccentric versus concentric contractions and challenge common misconceptions in fitness. Discussions cover the limitations of eccentric techniques and the drawbacks of relying heavily on animal studies for human muscle physiology. Static stretching is proposed as a potential alternative to traditional strength training. The importance of critically evaluating fitness research and adapting training practices is also emphasized.
