Negative Only - Eccentric Training - Schroeder

[Guest guest]

Hello,

A few eccentric protocols have been outlined in the e-mail thread.

Someone mentioned Jay Schroeder's eccentric training, and I was wondering if

someone could expand on it.

I have read a little on it, but I could not find many sources (any info

would be great). From the little I have read, it seems like he proposes

using various forms of eccentrics as a base of training to prepare one's

structural components to be ready for harder exercise.

Thanks,
