: >>> Fit Tip Friday <<< Eccentric work: the part of a movement where the muscle lengthens. Key for building strength. . Ladies, don't buy into the myth that eccentric work makes you "bulky." Rather, slowing this movement down creates time under tension = strength & control which is mega important in preventing injury. My Elements clients know we like to regularly throw eccentric focus into the program for these reasons. . I like to practice what we preach - I always do eccentric work (lower video) of my big lift (upper) afterwards. . Still scared it makes women "big" or "bulky?" Just check out Daisy Ridley!!! Star Wars girl is strong, sculpted, AND lean. . #fittipfriday #fitnessfriday #pushpress #eccentric #eccentricwork #elementsprogram
