Increasing muscle mass and strength is a complex physiologic process that requires both muscle activation and rest. A concentric muscle contraction is one of the three types of activation. 3 The other two are eccentric muscle contractions and isometric muscle contractions.
Concentric muscle contractions involve movements that shorten your muscles. In exercise, concentric movements target muscles to perform.Concentric Muscle Contractions to Build Strength A concentric muscle contraction is a type of muscle activation that increases tension on a muscle as it shortens. Learn how it works in the gym. When we think about strength training, we tend to refer to the process of building muscle mass.
By slowing down the eccentric (negative) phase you can build greater strength in your muscles. By increasing your strength this way, you will notice that your performance during the concentric contraction will improve also.A concentric contraction causes tension on the muscles as it shortens by generating force. When you perform a bicep curl, you are doing a concentric contraction by squeezing the muscles.
Generally, this is the only part of an exercise people focus on.A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction in which the muscles shorten while generating force. This is typical of muscles that contract due to the sliding filament mechanism, and it occurs throughout the muscle.That is because you will be stronger, up to 1.75 times stronger, with eccentric muslce contraction than with concentric contraction. During eccentric training, the body focuses on slowing down the muscle lengthening process, which challenges and trains the muscles, leading to bigger muslces, faster metabolic rate and better muscle healing ability.
The eccentric muscle contraction is the movement going down, or lengthening of the targeted muscle. For example, an eccentric contraction would be the “down” movement when doing biceps curls. The concentric movement is the shortening of the muscle, or the “up” movement.To better understand muscle contraction, imagine a biceps curl: As you pull the dumbbell toward the biceps, the muscle shortens, which is concentric.
If you hold here for a moment, the muscle is being held isometrically. Then, as you extend the weight away from your bicep, the muscle lengthens and contracts eccentrically.”If you use concentrics to build strength through the entire range of motion, eccentrics to build stronger and more resilient muscle tissue, and isometrics to increase strength at your end range of motion, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with,” says McKinney. Still, you should only do this sometimes. You can’t only train the parts, says Wickham.
Take the bicep curl for example. As you lift the bar upwards, your biceps bunch up. This is a concentric action as the muscle fibers pull against each other to move your forearm upward. When you lower the bar back down, the biceps are still active even though the movement is reversed.
Over the short-term, strength training involving both eccentric and concentric contractions appear to increase muscular strength more than training with concentric contractions alone. However, exercise-induced muscle damage is also greater during lengthening contractions.Concentric (Positive) Contractions: Put simply, this contraction shortens your muscle as it acts against resistive force (like a weight).
For example, during a biceps curl, the biceps contract concentrically during the lifting phase of the exercise.The concentric contraction is when a muscle is under load while it is shortening – this is also known as the ‘positive’ portion of a repetition when we’re referring to exercises. The act of curling a dumbbell is a concentric contraction because the biceps is.Use 80% of maximal load; go to concentric muscle failure, and then do 2-3 forced repetitions with 20% more weight. Repeat for three to four sets.
As an alternative for Levels 3 and 4, a training partner can manually apply resistance (i.e., push down on the bar) for the eccentric portion instead of adding weight.

I’m not skinny,I’m quite chubby,but I have the flexiblity of a dancer. I like to think that’s thanks to isometrics.
Hey, I am 15 and ı Want to increase my strength ı am already doing some workouts.Does ısometrics effect growing, or joints to get Harder. For example if a do a wall push do my arms get shorter?
Isometric exercise. I have got to try this because a exercise like this can definitely build bigger muscles and size.
If you take steroids three shrdded wheat will make you grow…
low reps and sets 5 x 3 theory still apply for body weight strength for example if I only focused on tension and contraction using this guideline consistently without changing the numbers and focusing on the skill rather than the range would I get stronger? (Not interested in getting bigger) As I heard that dynamic tension IE (stretching) pits the muscles against each other and that your body does differentiate the non existent weight with actual weight you be pushing or pulling against your own force has no limit.?????
I`m curious about if isometric training can build a muscle bigger. I`m a boxer. during season. isometric training for balance and strength. but some people saying you`re wrong. isometric training build the muscle bigger. no good for boxing training during seasons. training schedule is 80% weight, 3 reps for 15second each and three times. I want to describe isometric not build muscle bigger. am I wrong? or please let me know why isometric build muscle bigger.
This is when hardcore resistant bands come to play, one of the best and cheapest fitness tools I bought ever! (I also got Powerblocks)
Hello mate, Iv developed a really light case of shin splints before my PJFT should i contact my AFCO or will they get funny..? Cheers
having that thing pop up in the back with absolutely no punch line is downright creepy.
I’m pretty sure you’re going to be a top YouTube fitness channel very soon great content delivered very well. Cheers and all the best from Canada
can i mix my workout with dynamic and static exercises?
or should i train only with one kind of movement depending on my goal?
Perfect timing on this video thank you! Would you recommend a 30-60s time range for overcoming isometrics too? I wan’t to start incorporating them, but am not sure how to decide on criteria or numbers of reps/sets. And 2:50😀
Thankyou sir,it was very useful and helpful in making notes
Bro If i want to train for static skills
Should i stop pull&push routine or not
Awesome video, thanks for going into detail on the explanations. As far as training specific isometric movements go, like planche, do you recommend starting with eccentric movements like handstand to straddle?
I have a question? Can static exercise build muscle effectively??
Isometric exercises strengthen the joints and ligaments also, right?
Can I do static workouts more often than dynamic or mixed workouts?
Or can isometric exercises run entirely seperately from concentric and eccentric ones?
Thank you for the video, this is my favourite channel on youtube. Do you have any tips for up and coming youtube fitness channel? @calisthenicmovement
Great video as always, but just very is some little audio bug at 3:32 3:33
Should i do obliques training directly or indurectly?What are the best exercises for them? Some say it will ruin v taper and some say it fills the core area. Plz explain.
Theres no sucha thing called Gravity…. its the weight of the body that u need to overcome
Another great video. Sven is looking bigger than ever in this one.
Amazing functional physiques, not these ugly bulky Bodybuilding type ones the Internet is filled with. The guy with hair has psychopathic muscles, insane physique.
Make a workout routine(Video) for muscle strength and endurance for whole body,Only using bodyweight,bars,parallel bars from beginner to advanced!
Awesome video!
Keep growing!������
How much should be pull up eccentric rep duration for complete beginners that would also help in concentric strength goals?
Whats your arm size? Please respond…it seems like 41-42 cm
thanks a lot for all explanations, you make work outs more scientific
How to make pull up bar for australian pull ups at home?My plan is to build that back and all muscles needed for pull ups until summer,then i can go in sw park near me and do real pull ups.I don’t think broom stick will work for me cause i am overweight it will break apart
I watched and only noticed that guys’ body tone!! Bravo!!!
Great tutorial, as usual. I find that static exercises can also be used during certain injuries to maintain strength (for example, doing elbow planks or victorian hold on the floor if you have a wrist injury).
This might sound stupid:
If I (22, male) can seperately train for strength and endurance, what is muscle volume/growth (is that the same as muscle mass?) good for?
I noticed that women who do one-arm pull-ups are slimmer than you, Sven and Alex, for instance.
What does their lack of muscle volume (mass?) mean for them?
I have heard that static stress increases tendon strength more than muscle strength and because of this, quicker acceleration of strikes, etc, as well as a greater protection from injury. I would like to hear your thought on this.
my lower back is starting to hurt after practicing the L sit. am i doing something wrong
Hi, what device do you use to record these fantastic videos?
Isometrics a system of physical exercises in which muscles are caused to act against each other provided that an equivalent force is exerrted by both parties. From the greek language equal measures. In the case of pushing a wall, it could not be called isometrics because part of the energy used to push the wall in question would be ABSORVED by the surface and than dispersed. Therefore, part of the energy is lost and so the ‘reaction’ is not equal anymore (ISO). People apply Newton’s third law( For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) and think that pushing a wall is an isometric exercise but they are wrong because they forgot to calculate the absortion and dispersion of energy by the same wall! Concentrated contraction of one part or of a group of varied muscles of the body is also not isometrics. People get it wrong when they see a bodybuilder doing his sequence on stage or in front of a mirror while contracting his or her muscles and again, call it isometrics
Habe vor kurzen angefangen vom Gewichtetraining auf Calisthenics umzustelen. Dazu habe ich Youtube durchforstet um Anregungen zu erhalten. Eure Beiträge/Videos fande ich besonders gut und hilfreich, daher meine Frage an euch. Habt ihr auch Tipps für Beintraining? Finde es sehr schwer ein gutes Trainingsprogramm ohne Gewichte für die Beine zu erstellen. Vielleicht könnt ihr mir ja da weiter helfen, dass würde mich total freuen.
+calisthenicmovement Sven and Eleggs Just for a little request could you guys make a follow through for a upper body workout, just 1-2 rounds?
I kind of specifically mean if it’s skill training or a regular upper body routine! Thanks ^_^
Oh and for myself. What should the best progression be for me since I do more and more weighted PU’s for MU’s I have yet to integrate to kipping, if I must! (I can do upwards of 2-3 clean MU’s in start of workout first thing. Then i’m dead)
Can u make video on how to increase power and strength of entire body muscles……by more reps or the slowly and perfect reps exercise….??
hey Elegg. I started doing calisthenics back in March of this year. and have gotten really strong. i have lost 52lbs and went from a size 42 waist to size 36 waist. I love calisthenics to death and this is the first time I have really gotten in to working out for my health and body. but I can’t seem to build muscle like you guys have in your videos. I can do pull ups and chin ups wide and narrow I can almost to single handed push ups it not perfect yet. and I can do hand stand. but I am not building the body I want. I was wondering should I include weight lifting into my work out routine. to help me bulk up. or are there some other exercises I should do. do you guys do weights and calisthenics or just calisthenics. I watched your video on the difference each one does which was some what helpful. I really hope you reply.
why is it that sven is so fucking ripped but alex is not, even though they´re both crazy strong?
How old is the guy in the video? Looks really fit for his age.
alter was ist mit sven passiert xD mega übertrieben sieht er aus respekt!!!! brutal calisthenics body
Habt Ihr evt. eine lohnenswerte Empfehlung für ein Buch in Richtung Sportpsychology angelehnt an calisthenics/Bodyweight?
Fühle mich für die erste halbe Stunde beim Training immer etwas kraftlos Gewicht zu bewegen. “Explosiv” ausführen hilft ein wenig, aber möchte stärker werden.
what did you study for all this knowledge…..which course… even I want to
Hi, what do you think about super slow training? Time under tension is quite long but reps usually very low. What kind of adaptation will occur? I played with 90 sec push ups with 5 sec isometric at the bottom, it’s extremely hard to get up at that speed with a slow and steady pace.
please one video “all planks” and ejercicios para el muscle up. thanks
saludos desde Argentina.
Excellent! Sven looks so ripped here. But Alex is a real beast!
what combination of these is best for gaining maximum strength? Thank you guys, you guys are truly the best work out channel on youtube:))))))))))))
Do you, Sven or Alex, supplement with weight training or is that physique purely from calisthenics? Impressive either way.
Sven isn’t any bigger he just obviously did a diet cut. Everyone looks more “jacked” when lean but probably no stronger or bigger
What’s a good ratio of static workouts to reps? and can you incorporate them both? for example, focus on statics for learning the planche say, and then finish with some excentric and decentric reps? or is it best to keep them separate????
How do you bring the chest up to the pull up bar? I can’t get any higher than neck to bar
You can be engaged in every day? or you need to take breaks?
Macht ihr auch mal ein Front lever tutorial? Eure videos sind die besten!
I’ve been doing isometrics for the past 13 years now along with calisthenics and i can easily say that isometrics do build muscle but the muscle you build is a solid, compact, dense look.
I really shoudn’t watch your videos right before work. I need to go, but I want to train! Darn. I like your videos a lot, they are easy to understand even for a newbie like me. Thank you!
have you ever specified on body weight as well the lighter you are the easier these types of movements can be executed
Would a good example be holding the top of a one arm push up for 5 seconds, slowly lowering to the bottom, and holding the bottom for 5 seconds before doing each set?
I’d like to congratulates you guys. You’re doing an amazing job with plenty useful advice. It’s like I’m about to like everyone of your video.
Ich wäre auch mal interessiert an eurer Ernährung, ihr seid immer so shredded! (y)
What do you guys eat before and after a workout? Since 70% of the training has to do with you dieet.
Can you make a video on the fastest way to increase reps on exercises like pushups and pullups?
Over the past one week I’ve become a big believer. I was 95 Kgs but through regimented diet and running, I’m currently 80Kgs. My goal is now to get upper body strength and develop muscle and endurance. I couldn’t manage 5 push ups a week back but can do 10 now at a stretch. My next goal is to increase it to 20 and to also do pull ups. Many thanks guys.
Which should a beginner concentrate on in order to get most effective training?
Hey,
Sven is looking to a lot bigger and leaner. You guys do bulk and cut cycles or just eat healthy?
Another question, your physique is achieved only by calisthenics?
Great content!!
Are static holds good for building some muscle? I know it’s not the best way, I’m just asking because the gymnasts have very big muscles by doing lots of statics
thanks!
i m so glad i subscribed to this channel. the best thing i like abt ur videos r, 1. u define the movement and also show examples… to make us understand tht movement. 2. u also show whts the best way/method to train based on individual goal. so thanks 4tht.
can u make a video about injuries and how to avoid injuries during calisthenics and bodyweight training?
great video ����.. nothing is better in mixing science with sport to optimize the outcome ��. can you make video for stretching workout and the importance of stretching in general??☺️
that fella is so bloody ripped. holyshit. Need to bring the pull up bar out
