One of the “secrets” to strength training is to perform your repetitions slowly, especially the eccentric or “down” phase of each exercise. This simple yet incredibly powerful technique maximizes the amount of time the muscle is under tension, which maximizes your results. Whether it’s push-ups, squats, or biceps curls – slower is better. Your muscles do the work instead of momentum or gravity. So go slow to see results fast. | Bowflex
