An advanced technique that focuses on the eccentric (lowering) phase of the movement to maximize muscle growth and strength. You can use a slightly heavier weight than normal.
Level:Advanced
Type:Machine-based
Technique
How to perform
1
Set a weight that is about 10-20% heavier than what you could normally lift for 8 reps.
2
Sit in the machine and curl one arm up, using your other hand to lightly assist the lifting phase if necessary.
3
Once the weight is at the top, remove your assisting hand.
4
Lower the weight extremely slowly and with control. Focus on resisting the weight throughout the entire lowering phase, which should last 4-6 seconds.
5
Once the weight is down, assist it back up and repeat. Complete all reps on one arm before switching sides.
