I'm just learning about all this. I heard in another video of yours (can't find this as a topic, please point me in the right direction if there is one) that you are okay with cheating a little bit to get the weight up. I always thought strict form was key. After I heard you say you're okay with slight cheating, then watching this video, this made me think about how eccentric motion is more important so YES, getting the weight up a little more explosively than with proper form (as long as it's not going to cause injury) with controlled eccentric movement will gain the most results. Is my thinking correct here?
1. More explosive or assisted to get it up (get your mind out of the gutter)
2. Controlled slower eccentric
3. = bigger, faster?

Jeff is not lying here. Three words. Heavy eccentric sets. Especially with biceps where there is little risk of injury, do eccentric sets with weight that's 40% heavier than you can concentrically lift. I was looking for ways to get over my slow bicep gains, tried every exercise, tried all kinds of intensity techniques, lifted heavy, lifted light. but it was all concentric. When I tried heavy eccentric sets, it was immediately clear to me that they were the missing piece of the puzzle. Bicep gains every week ever since.

microtrauma is most prevalent on the eccentric portion, sorry but fast negatives arent actively using the musculature its using gravity so that whole argument is completely invalid. The turn around phase between positive and negative is important for power development, but in no way whatsoever does hypertrophy factor in. Pure negative training as you suggest is very valid but done slowly not rushed like some crazy man, you can stretch/elongate a muscle in a lift that isnt contracted, your BSing

Hi Jeff,
I am not sure i understand why the muscle is tearing only on the positive. Because I think the way that you demonstrated the positive movement of the muscle was not very accurate because when you showed it with the band you didn't put it under tension, and when the muscle is preforming the positive movement it is contracting against the tension of the weights and not just folding- so why the is no tearing there?
Thanks, love your videos, very professional!

-Farthing & Chilibeck study done in 2003, after 10 weeks the size of the muscle fibers of trained athletes increased by 13% when using rapid/fast negatives & 8% when using slow negatives-
Fast negatives bring in your involuntary muscle which allows greater positive output & better targets your Type II muscle fibers (example, when you jump how you bend down really quickly(fast negative) and shoot up(explosive positive)
So there's the science, im not BS'ing, thank you anyway though

don't spread bs man, you don't ONLY get microtrauma's on the eccentric portion, and to be honest super slow negatives aren't the best way to target the negatives, there's studies showing FAST negatives do more for building muscle
If you wanna get the most out of your negatives, use a weight heavier than your max, get a spotter to help you with the concentric motion and fight it as much as you can on the way down
It's the stretching of a muscle thats contracted that really helps

I mean it though. You are great! I reread the last message and it felt like it came across sarcastic but it was just the context. P. S. Definitely do a -Retro Rip- video with Jesse picking fun of the goofy stuff you have done. I don't mean it to be offensive, just would like to see an old fashioned roast video of the man hold in such high esteem. We all do goofy sh-- and it's would be -all in good fun-. Lots of love you two

Sorry Jeff, but micro trauma damage is not caused by stretching or elongating the muscle. This is proven in looking at people who perform exercise like yoga. They do not grow bigger muscles. You are correct when you talk about negatives being highly effective for hypertrophy, but not because of your rubber strap analogy. Forgiven this video 6 years old now and you have grown in your knowledge.
