Enhanced-Eccentric Leg Extension

How to do it

  1. Set up in a leg extension machine.
  2. Extend both legs to lift the weight concentrically.
  3. Lower the weight slowly using only one leg for the eccentric phase.
  4. Alternate the single-leg eccentric between reps.
  5. Use a 3-5 second eccentric lowering tempo.
  6. This overloads the eccentric phase for greater muscle stimulus.
