Negatives have allowed me to progress at an insane rate. It only took me two months to go from 104 RGC to 180 RGC and now I can do multiple singles with it. (After the 10% weight reset) Negatives feel like a cheat code. Edited June 30, 2022 by DevilErik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very welcome! it sure does feel like one doesnt it? i noticed that there seem to be slightly different styles of negatives based on the individuals i see on Youtube. is there a way you do yours in particular? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do my negatives after my max work. I cheat close the gripper and do a five second hold. I also don't use a setting or a gripper that is super heavy, holding it closed should be challenging but the gripper should be very easy to control. I could probably do 10 second holds with the grippers and settings I use but that would be very risky.

Thank you i should try adding this method with precision. 10 seconds does seem to have a whole other kind of potential outcome, be it beneficial or risky. its interesting how just that smidge more of time can make such a difference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a big issue for me man. I train and compete in powerlifting so I hope I can catch up on time for a couple of strongman meets this winter. Glad it didn't affect you any worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about being as strong as you, even if you lost 25% of your max for a while, you're still very strong. Just don't push it, drink plenty of water and rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
