Not all eccentrics do the same job, and you don’t plug them in at the same time. Here’s the order I use Long-duration eccentrics (15–30 sec) — early phase, rehab, long-length exposure without cost. Great for building tolerance before intensity. Tempo eccentrics (3–8 sec) — once the tissue can handle long-duration, we add controlled intensity without fast braking. This builds the bridge to heavier or faster work. Supramax / heavy eccentrics— now we raise the ceiling. This is where we build brakin

Slow vs Fast eccentrics Slow eccentrics are typically paired with submaximal loads and controlled lowering speeds. Think a 5–6 second eccentric for 3–5 reps. The goal here is longer strain duration and tolerance building in both muscle and tendon. You might also push loading slightly higher using methods like 2–1 eccentrics, where one limb handles the eccentric and two limbs handle the concentric. Since we can generally tolerate higher forces eccentrically, this lets you meaningfully load tissue
