This advanced technique increases time under tension by focusing on the eccentric (lowering) phase of the movement. It is an excellent method for building strength and muscle mass.
Select a weight that is slightly lighter than you normally use, about 60-70% of your usual working weight.
Position yourself with an upright torso to target the triceps.
Press the weight up at a normal, explosive speed (approximately 1 second).
Lower the weight very slowly and with maximum control. Aim for a 3-5 second lowering phase, feeling constant tension in your triceps.
Once you reach the bottom of the movement, immediately begin the next explosive push upwards. Repeat.
Compare gyms near you and see which ones offer a free trial.
