Eccentric strength training builds more strength than regular training

[Nelson Vergel]

Thoughts?
Strength training using extremely heavy weights, with which athletes can only manage the return (eccentric) part of the movement on their own, builds more strength in experienced strength athletes than regular strength training does. This is the conclusion reached by a Finnish study published Frontiers in Physiology. Eccentric strength training requires a few weeks before the effects are seen.Eccentric strength training builds more strength than regular strength training does

Its also a good way to become over-trained in short order as well, IMHO.
