Elite brakes = Elite performance. Just ask lukadoncic
Simple progression:
šļø Weeks 1 to 2: 2 sets per exercise, own positions
šļø Weeks 3 to 4: add 1 rep per set, or add 1 session per week
šļø Weeks 5 to 6: add light load on step downs, keep tempo strict
Then cycle it back down and repeat.
How to build better eccentric control without wrecking your lifting progress
Think minimal effective dose. Two principles:
š§ Expose the tissue and nervous system to braking, consistently
āļø Keep volume low and quality high, so it supports strength and speed instead of stealing recovery
Use one of these methods per session, not all of them:
ā±ļø Slow eccentrics on strength lifts
š§± Yielding isometrics in sport positions
š Low volume decel drills that teach you to stick and own positions
