Depends on your goals. For increasing lean mass eccentrics or negatives should be incorporated if possible. Keeping it simple with progressive overload on three main types of movements using dynamic reps (both concentric and eccentric) will produce results: 1) Lower body (squat, deadlift, leg press) 2) Upper body press (bench, military, chest press, dip) 3) Upper body pull (chin, row, pull down). Hope that helps.
Isometric contractions do not have any movement (i.e. the joint angle stays the same and the muscle contracts in one position). This machine takes you through a desired range of motion whether eccentric, concentric, or any combination you choose.
how often do you do negative workouts? i read that it is so hard on your muscles that you should not do this kinda exercise more than like 3 times a month
I typically perform 3-4 negative only workouts per month with 3-4 exercises per workout. Squat, dead lift, or leg press for lower body. Upper press rotates between chest press, bench press, dip, and military press. Upper pull rotates between row, bench row, pull down, and shrug.
The user of the machine pushes or pulls as hard as possible against the direction of the motor. It's sort of like man vs. machine and machine is always going to win but you give it all-out effort every time whether traditional positive/negative reps or in the case of this video negative or eccentric only reps.
Hey guys. The double-negative sounds like a mind-shattering experience. How does the alternate muscle group's relatively long rest between reps affect the workout? It seems like every rep would be a super-set in itself.
The rate of fatigue is extended similar to a rest-pause technique. However, the "double negatives" produce a similar yet not quite as draining metabolic effect as working through hyper reps.
Well.
Go ahead and try all the negative only training you want . . .

this reminds me of isometrics
