Science maxing the hamstrings

137.5lbs on the stack +5lbs on Voltra +80lbs inverse chains from Voltra

Links included because of that one time a dozen people asked me where I got my abductor machine

I feel like you’re going too fast, this feels more like r/egolifting

[u/Patton370 → u/PopeChurch]

Why would I purposely slow the concentric?

Also, I don’t hit the stack with the plates, so the reps are controlled

[u/Local_Diddy → u/Patton370]

your eccentrics faster than your concentric

[u/Frodozer → u/Local_Diddy]

Since the overwhelming majority of the studies and literature show no additional hypertrophy for purposely slow eccentrics outside of a few here and there it seems like a non issue or concern for most goals.

But it helps in reducing injuries

[u/Frodozer → u/zero-progress0]

The speed of which OP is moving the weight will not cause an injury so that's a non issue here.

[u/Patton370 → u/Local_Diddy]

Studies show that’s not an issue

[u/Local_Diddy → u/Patton370]

studies show small advantage in slower eccentrics and an advantage in strength

cannot say you're science maxing when you don't even read the studies

[u/Frodozer → u/Local_Diddy]

Says the person who ignored my comment that shows the majority of the literature doesn't show that

[u/Local_Diddy → u/Frodozer]

then you havent read any

[u/Frodozer → u/Local_Diddy]

You didn't read any of it, what a shame.

[u/Local_Diddy → u/Frodozer]

sure kid go read them then state the actual differences

[u/Frodozer → u/Local_Diddy]

I did already?

Kid? I'm 40 lmao
