I assume this works for push-ups too? Lower yourself then reset and lower again? That’s amazing. I guess it makes sense. If the research in the article holds true this makes strength building much simpler and a lot less grueling.

Have you never done long eccentric phases? It’s the worst. Barring injuries, there’s no worse day after than the day after long eccentrics. DOMS for days!

Yeah I used to do a routine that was composed of very slow movement, so super slow push-ups. It was grueling.

Planks are the ultimate simple thing. Everyone can do it, at any age, at any level of fitness. Plank.

Just two minutes.
