Eccentric Push Ups

Strength Exercise for Chest, Triceps and Shoulders.
Benefits of Ecc Push Ups:
Enhanced Muscle Growth: By emphasizing the eccentric phase, where the muscles lengthen under tension, this exercise creates greater micro-tears in the muscle fibers, which are crucial for muscle growth and hypertrophy.
Improved Control and Technique: Slowing down during the lowering phase of the push-up improves neuromuscular control and enhances overall movement technique, which is beneficial for all levels of fitness.
Reduced Risk of Injury: Controlled, slow movements in the eccentric phase can help strengthen muscles and connective tissues, potentially reducing the risk of injuries.
Better Joint Health: The controlled movement helps maintain joint integrity and can be less jarring on the joints compared to explosive movements, making it a safer option for those concerned about joint health.
Versatility in Training: Eccentric push-ups can be easily modified to increase difficulty, such as elevating the feet or wearing a weighted vest, making them versatile for progressive training.
