A lot of newbie lifters often think that the lifting portion of an exercise is all that really matters when it comes to stimulating muscle growth. But lifting the weight up is only half of a “complete”<\/em> contraction. The lowering portion of the lift is just as, if not more, important to your overall muscle gains.<\/p>\n

When you lower the weight under control in a negative rep you keep your muscles under tension for longer periods of time. Not only that, but you can lower heavier weight in a negative contraction than you can lift in a positive contraction. So in essence you can force your muscles to handle a heavier workload and thus help stimulate more muscle growth when you focus on incorporating negative reps in your training.<\/p>\n

Below is quick video clip showing how you can use “Negative Reps For Positive Results”<\/em><\/strong> in your bicep workouts and help stretch the tape measure on your arms to the next level \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n
