"Jumping"

[Womanizer]

I heard from a trainer that jumping is a fast way to increase muscle. When you do your dumbbell curl on the way down go really slow(like slo mo). And only do this for a week. What do you guys think? Actually work or not?

And also if so, can this be done with barbell curls?

"Jumping" or box-jumps are used frequently by powerlifters to develop explosive strenghth.

it's called plyometrics...a quick eccentric contarction followed by a quick concentric. I'm not sure about using it as a mass builder but it could help with over-all power

 

[coolcolj]

it can definitely boost muscle mass, if used in the right time in the training plan

used after a strength block, and then follow up with a hypertrophy block to peak things fully

Can i do this with bb curls?

 

[coolcolj]

yeah just start really light

 

[Womanizer]

okay cool ty, Is it possible to do this more than a week? Or just do jumps for a week at a time.

 

[coolcolj]

if you do them properly you will find yourself getting pretty sore for a few days. Once a week is enough, depends on the person
It's not something you do all the time though

I did them didn't work well for me,but I powerlifted and half way down squats worked better for me.
