How to do Negative Reps - Bodybuilding

In this lesson you will learn how to do negative repetitions (negatives / or / forced reps). Negative reps are used to make a set more intensive after you reach momentary muscle failure.

Description: Negative Reps - Bodybuilding

* Let's say you already did 8 preacher curls with 30 kg and you can't do a 9th repetition. You reached failure. That's where you training partner comes into play. He can help you over the positive part of the repetition. In this example, Hank, the big guy without shoes, helps Mavi lift the weight. The spotter (Hank) only helps a little, so that Mavi can do the positive part of the repetition within 3 seconds. Hank is not supposed to lift all the weight alone.
* Now, as the weight is up, your training partner can release the bar. Then lower the weight as slow as possible. Don't let the weight fall. This is the negative part of the repetition. And the reason why this technique is called "Negative Repetition".

Trainer advice: Negative Reps - Bodybuilding

* The spotter only helps in the positive part of the repetition. He doesn't help in the negative part. He Hank's hands don't touch the bar.
* Negatives are popular among HIT (High Intensity Training).
* Lower the weight slowly and concentrated.
* Stop immediately if your joints hurt. Don't let the weight fall into the joint.
