Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hey guys I know this might be a stupid question, but what are they? Im thinking they are like at the end of a set u hold the barbell or w/e up as long u can. Im trying to add a few things to switch it up in my workouts, such as these and heavy negatives. Im adding one or two sets of heavy negs for each body parts, is that suffcient + do you guys have any other suggestions?

Static contractions are holding a heavy weight at the stretch point of the muscle. For example, flat bench, you'd take a heavy weight and lower it about 1/2 way down and then hold it there. Pete Sisco wrote a book on it. I've tried it and several others here, as well, and no one thinks too highly of them.
Negs, partials, 21's, etc. are all a good thing to do here and there for a change up.
