When you land, you aren't absorbing force…You don’t absorb force because force is an interaction between objects. You’re producing force eccentrically to control momentum and redirect motion. There are different ways to use eccentrics and help develop this quality - Tempo eccentrics - slower lowering submax loads to build control and positional strength. - EQIs (Eccentric quasi-isometrics) - holding an iso until failure and then resisting eccentric contraction for tissue tolerance and motor control. - Overspeed eccentrics - using assistance or external load to increase the velocity of lengthening...higher neural demand - Supramaximal eccentrics - loads above your concentric max - Plyometrics - the most specific expression, training the ability to utilize the stretch shortening cycle. Each method stresses the body differently and the art is knowing when and how to use each. Inside Speed Kills, I break down how to actually apply these methods, how eccentric strength, stiffness, and reactive ability come together to produce real speed, with full examples and an 8-week program that puts it all in motion.
