Tempo Eccentric (5011)

Working on certain movements like squats or bench presses during the eccentric phase could boost your performance! Here's a preset tempo to guide you.

Why use a slow tempo during the eccentric phase?

Increased Muscle Stimulation

A deliberate tempo during the eccentric phase (muscle lengthening under tension) extends the duration of muscle fiber engagement, fostering heightened muscle stimulation, growth, and fortification.

Refined Movement Control

A deliberate tempo facilitates superior movement control, diminishing reliance on momentum or inertial force. This ensures that the targeted muscle bears the brunt of the effort, proving especially advantageous for isolating specific muscle groups.

Mitigation of Injury Risks

Deliberate and measured movements empower joints and muscles to adeptly accommodate external loads, diminishing the likelihood of injuries linked to abrupt or excessively rapid movements.

Elevated Body Awareness

A deliberate tempo cultivates heightened body awareness, enabling a heightened focus on movement quality, muscle contraction, and postural alignment.

Intensified Stress on Muscle Fibers

A deliberate tempo subjects muscle fibers to prolonged stress, inducing favorable adaptations such as heightened muscle hypertrophy.

To summarize, integrating a deliberate tempo during the eccentric phase of an exercise can amplify muscle effort, refine movement control, mitigate injury risks, and foster muscle development.
