Slow eccentrics can allow you to have more hypertrophy and gain more strength, but I think the biggest advantage of slow eccentrics is that it makes it much more harder to stall, and stalling can be very frustrating.

It sounds like doing a slomo eccentric doubles to triples the time the muscle is under load ! So my muscles are working doubly harder and should achieve results in half the time someone does a normal-timed routine rite ? Hmm.. this sounds like good news.

I am about to embark on 5x5, so am quite keen to test this slow eccentric on all my exercises on all reps & sets. Will this be too much or its suppposed to be implemented selectively ? I have been doing slow eccentrics unconsciously in my chinnings to slowly descent & so far they have been a good thing but not sure for all exercises.

Hi, i m trying out clean&press n articles say every rep starts & ends with the barbell on the ground. Anyhow i see the videos of ppl performing the full rep by hoisting it from their thighs & finishing with the bar on the thigh.

Can anyone tell me which is the true clean&press ?

Thx for the explanation pizzaboy. I'm a bit afraid to write now because the reason for me adopting cleanpress is .. jus that i wanna try something new haha.. and also becos i thought (mistakenly ?) it might be a good 2in1 compound exercise that incorporates both upright rows & pressing, therefore saving me time.

If it can't offer better hypertrophy i might as well split it up to deads & presses then.
