This week I have been playing around with my routine and with my two last sets on each lift taken 5 seconds on each negative. I have not suffered with doms for a long time but fuck me this week has been bad, I just hope that it will so benefits!!
My gym have just got a couple of the full range of X-Force equipment in that works on the principle of initial lift for 3 seconds, hold for 1 and negative for 5. The best bit of it is whatever weight you have on the lift, the stack tilts 40% as you hold for the 1 second, so the negative is a 40% increase. the gains i'm having from these machines is unreal compared to free weight routines I was doing. You only do 1 set at 10-12 reps and it's doing it's job for me so far.
That's the gym I go to, 3-5-1 those xforce machines are pretty good!
