I have heard that eccentric overload is a particularly potent stimulus for connective tissue adaptaion and can help reduce risk of injury. How much evidence is there for those claims?
Regardless of the efficacy for injury risk reduction I think it will be fun to do some eccentric overload JM press (lower it like a JM press then shift around and BP the bar back up) during my next pivot block.
Any guidelines for eccentric overload training? I am thinking I’ll use a weight far enough beyond my 1rm so that I can do max effort eccentric contractions for 3-4 seconds (maybe that’s ~125%1rm?) for sets of 3-4 (Probably won’t bother trying to use RIR, though I could set it up as failure is a rep less than 3seconds). I haven’t bothered to do any research on reccomendations, sorry if those numbers are absurd.
