Negative Reps

Go even further in the gym by using negatives to finish sets.

Your muscles are stronger during the negative phase of exercises, i.e. when they’re lengthening, so even once you’ve failed in a set you will still be able to get a couple of negative reps out to finish the set.

To perform negatives, at the end of a set, once you can’t finish a rep properly, use a partner to help to get to the end point of the movement, and then lower the weight in a slow, controlled manner. You won’t be able to get many of these reps, but they will be a great way to finish keep your sets going beyond
initial failure.
