Technique
Eccentric
Also written: eccentrics
The lowering phase of a lift, when the muscle lengthens under load.
Lowering into a squat or lowering the bar to your chest is the phase. You’re stronger in this phase than when lifting, and it causes the most soreness.
Controlling the eccentric is a big part of good technique.
