[quote=Anonymous]I see so many people at the gym attempting to lift weights that are heavier than they should be using. They'll be using a machine to do the eccentric portion of the movement, but then completely let the machine go so that gravity does the work of returning the machine to its original position. Do y'all realize you're only getting half a rep done each time because you are failing to use good form to get good eccentric movement? You need to use a controlled form/motion during returning the machine to its original position. If you're the lat pulldown machine, for example, pulling down the bar is only half the exercise. You need to let the bar up with smooth controlled motion to get the other half of your rep. Letting gravity do the work for you by letting the lat bar fly up and using no muscles to control it is cheating yourself. Stop using so much weight if you can't muster good eccentric movements.
