What are negative sets? Negative sets are worked at a tempo with emphasis on the lowering phase of the movement. Focusing on the eccentric phase of an exercise confuses the muscle making it handle the weight differently and Is a great way to increase strength and promote growth!
For example: Bench Press (Negative sets) Tempo: 3:1:1 Means… 3 seconds lowering the bar down to your chest, once second hold, one second explosion back up to the starting position and repeat for remaining reps & sets. Give this negative based chest workout a try! |
