Peak contractions?

[bgriffin989]

I am trying to add more size and am currently at a plateau. I read in some previous posts doing more peak contraction exercises stimulates a lot more muscle growth. What are your guys take on this? Looking to switch us some workouts

Good topic! I've used peak contractions as one tool to help me get past plateaus with certain lifts; it puts a lot of stress on your muscles at the static point of your lift. But I love drop sets more than anything as a change-up from my standard routines.

Time under tension is phenomenal !!

Drops as well two of my favorites !

I will say it's a lot harder doing these most of the reps. Feeling a way deeper burn and more full pump.

That's the feeling that I love call me crazy but it's amazing !!

I know it's hard totally different than a normal lifting regimen!

heavy negatives and 3+ stage drop sets have never failed to help me push through plateaus

take a weak off and then change your routine
