[@markg8125]

@@Parallelcoaching yup preparing for an exam! I watched that video already aswell thank you. Whenever the words Concentric and Eccentric come up I always remember "to the clouds" and "to the earth" and it makes everything easier

[@MarkODwyer-ze8pb]

Great video. What about seated leg extensions? Is the concentric is when you push down the weight?

[@lissetealopezmunguia250]

Thanks for making it to easy to understand!! :)

[@Parallelcoaching]

Thanks for your comment, what was your big takeaway

[@mayerlingalvarez2076]

Hi this is a great video. But I am a bit confused if I am stepping down to next stair with the right leg what happen to my left quadriceps? What type of contraction happens on my left quadriceps?

[@vickyli7149]

Hi Thank u for great video but I am wondering if you are doing tug of war where is your load ? I don’t see any lifting and lowering happening in this process thank you for answering

[@Parallelcoaching]

Glad you like it 🙏

[@Sara-wn3vr]

I have a question
When gravity is eliminated and there is no load , there won’t be an eccentric phase in any muscle doing any action .. right ?
For example supine hip ABD
The glutes medius/minimus is concentrically contracting while ADDs are in Reciprocal inhibition
And when the hip ADD back in the same circumstances the ABD muscles are in reciprocal inhibition state while agonists are contracting???

[@Parallelcoaching]

Hey good question. The gravity doesn't disappear though. Instead of looking at the joint and body part against gravity. Look at the weight stack. The same is true on a horizontal leg press, pec fly machine or a Lat pull down. If the weight stack goes up to the clouds (against gravity) it's the concentric phase of that exercise.

[@richardsanchez5444]

So would it also be correct to day eccentric is when you extend and concentric is when you contract?

[@Parallelcoaching]

Yes as a general rule. Just make sure you are thinking about the prime mover doing the extension or contraction else it gets really confusing :)

[@jerraldjustcape2014]

3:33 Please help ya boi out, on the eccentric phase or the “down phase” of a squat, are the quads and the glutes are still the agonists even if they are lengthening like this lady says?
I thought agonists only contract, pls help

[@Parallelcoaching]

Good question.
The important part to remember is that the agonist will shorten on the concentric phase and lengthen on the eccentric phase.
That’s how you know it is the agonist.
If î

[@CorbinBlanchardDesign]

So the concentric phase is when you're lifting the weight, and eccentric is when you're lowering the weight, basically?

[@Parallelcoaching]

Yep that's the one :) Spot on
