< strong>Triceps exercise: a different peak contraction!
The peak contraction is a great technique to use in fitness training!
He requires us to squeeze the muscles hard at the top of the movement, when the target muscles contract for the shortest time, as if they are going to cramp!
Peak contraction helps you better accumulate metabolic stress and allow your muscles to become hyperemic, thus providing your muscles with better growth conditions!
Metabolic stress: one of the three major mechanisms of muscle growth
Peak contraction Techniques can be applied to most exercises, including bench presses, pull-ups, bicep curls, and more! Usually squeeze your muscles hard for two seconds at the top of the movement!
Today I will introduce to you a different peak contraction technique
At the beginning of the movement, perform a long peak contraction, and then continue with regular training!
Let’s take the triceps push-down as an example!
Video:
Start the first push-down with your arms straight, contract the triceps forcefully for 10 seconds, and then continue with the regular triceps push-down action!
