The goal isn’t just to make the lift heavier. Heavy eccentric loading gives us access to forces we can’t create with traditional concentric lifting. That can drive adaptations in fascicle architecture, expose the muscle-tendon system to high mechanical tension, and challenge the nervous system to coordinate and control higher forces. We’re trying to build a bigger eccentric strength reserve meaning more force the athlete has the capacity to produce, tolerate, and control. Build the capacity in the weight room. Then use sprinting, jumping, snd throwing work to express it at speed. #strengthandconditioning #pitchertraining #baseballtraining
