Build Muscle Symmetry

Build Muscle Symmetry

In order to benefit the way you look & build muscle symmetry, you must lift to create intelligent proportion. Don't sacrifice form for more weight, lift with purpose and focus.


How to do the perfect repetition

How to Build Muscle Symmetry - Thurston Personal Training

A rep is comprised of 3 phases: Concentric: positive part (i.e. the pushing up with bench press) Static (i.e. top of lift) Eccentric: returning the weight (i.e. lowering or returning the weight). The perfect rep requires: Contracting your muscle during the concentric phase. Squeezing the muscle during the static/pause moment. Maintain tension during the eccentric phase (i.e. return slowly). In other words, you don't mindlessly lift. Instead, focus your attention to each phase of the rep.
