Eccentric strength refers to the ability to generate force while lengthening the muscle under control. It is effective for enhancing muscular hypertrophy, improving strength at specific sticking points, and reducing injury risk by improving muscle and connective tissue integrity.

Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC)

The stretch-shortening cycle describes the muscle action of rapid stretching followed by immediate contraction, enhancing explosive power and force output. Plyometrics and jumping exercises frequently employ the SSC, improving speed, power, and efficiency.

Supramaximal Loads

Supramaximal loads involve training with weights exceeding 100% of your maximal lift capacity, primarily to stimulate neurological adaptations, strengthen connective tissues, and overcome psychological barriers.
