In Reply to: 18yr Old Needs Advice On Only Negative Training posted by Kevin on March 16, 1997 at 23:03:34:
: I am 18 years old and need to get stronger i recently read in a mag about negative training. This training involves only doing the negative part of the lift for example, lets say you can curl 100 pounds for 8 reps so the idea is you can do negative reps for 130, but you need someone to help lift the wieght when you you finsh your negative to start it over. I heard that you can add 20 pounds to your lifts in a couple of weeks with this training. Any ideas or this.
If you're only concerned about curls then this training method isn't for you. If you did want to try it you would only do it on the last reps of the last set that you are going to do for that exercise. I doubt that you could add 20lbs, but you could add a nice pec tear or pulled quad.
