Accommodating Resistance Training

Posted on May 6, 2013 by matthank

Example of how we utilize chains at Pierce College.  We use this method during a power phase or phase we are looking to increase the rate of force development.  It is used as a method to accelerate the bar throughout the entire range of motion during the concentric phase.  Also, it serves as  a deload during the eccentric phase which is good towards the end of the offseason training program when the athletes start to fatigue both physically and mentally with class finals.
