For the purpose of building a body and strengthening it what to you is the most important part of the repitition?
OK, I'll bite Gooseman. Whilst I don't train for Bodybuilding or Powerlifting, I'll say the negative is moreso important for Bodybuilding, but the up is moreso for sport specific.
An old power-lifting trick is to perform heavy negatives to shock the muscles and increase strength. It works very well.
Just like beginners are advised to perform the negative part of a chin up, in order to gain enough strength to perform the complete movement. The negative is also a good thing to do when you can no longer perform the full movement. Doing them to near failure after regular chins works wonders. As it does for most other exercises.
And then you have heavy partials to overcome sticking points - but that's another topic, I think.
That's how I've always understood it.thats based on the concept that you can lower more weight than you can lift?
