I like explosive concentrics, assuming the client is experienced with quality form so he doesn't crap out his spine... ha When I'm with a training partner, like our training session in Tampa, I always utilize forced reps... makes me forget how much of a pump you can get when you train solo for so long. Those are my thoughts until another time.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8856','Vince'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8856','Vince','hey John,\n\nfirst off, for those of you who don\'t know, John Romaniello is a bad ass fitness stud - one of the coolest and funniest guys I know - right after me of course.\n\nI like explosive concentrics, assuming the client is experienced with quality form so he doesn\'t crap out his spine... ha\n\nWhen I\'m with a training partner, like our training session in Tampa, I always utilize forced reps... makes me forget how much of a pump you can get when you train solo for so long.\n\nThose are my thoughts until another time.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> hey John,

What are your thoughts on explosive concentrics--even cheat curls--and then very slow negatives of up to 5 or 6 seconds? I've been using this with a few of my clients. What we have seen is pretty impressive strength gains, and a lot of carryover to pull-ups and chin-ups. Any thoughts?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8854','John Romaniello'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8854','John Romaniello','Vince,\n\nGreat post, I like the technique.

So, go up fast, then a 4-count going down. Squeezing the muscle the whole time. Add 1 minute rest periods and strict form and you WILL bust past a lagging body part in no time. You have to use lighter weights with this technique, but is is VERY effective. Been doing this for a month now on all my lifts and it is still making me sore along with a killer pump. For biceps, try the preacher bench with DB's on the 90 degree side using the 4:1 count. Do one arm at a time so you can really concentrate on your form. You can also switch with a triceps exercise and no rest between sets. It is the antagonistic muscle approach. Done right, it is brutal. ;-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8852','Sean'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8852','Sean','Even better, try and explode during the concentric phase, then do a 4-count on the eccentric phase.

What you are describing is just the opposite of what you should be doing. If you want to increase your weakest point you could do isometric/static holds or work the low end of the biceps curl by starting out at the bottom and finish just below 90.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8850','David Morgan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8850','David Morgan','Vince- I see your not a science trained guy.
