Eccentric Overload vs. Supramaximal Eccentrics: What They Are and How to Program Them | 1080 Motion

Muscles are stronger eccentrically than concentrically, but most training never actually challenges that. Traditional loading is selected based on what an athlete can lift concentrically, which means the eccentric phase is almost always underloaded Motorized resistance changes that by allowing independent control of concentric and eccentric load, making eccentric training more precise, measurable, and sport-specific than anything possible with barbells, bands, or weight releasers This guide covers the two distinct types of eccentric training available with 1080 technology, when to use each, and how to program them Topics covered: -Why the eccentric phase is chronically underloaded in traditional strength training -Shock absorber vs. elastic spring -Eccentric overload: how differential loading works -Supramaximal eccentrics: what eccentric isokinetics are -How to set eccentric load and eccentric velocity correctly on the 1080 -Periodizing eccentric overload -Sport-specific applications Any inquiries or to learn more, please visit www.1080motion.com or email info@1080motion.com #MakeSpeedHappen
