Accommodated resistance is a great way to improve on your lockout strength and overall strength. It allows the athlete to lift heavier weights at the top of the lift. This works with the athlete’s natural strength curve. When the weight is at the eccentric portion or the part where the athlete is the weakest, the weight is at its lightest. On the concentric portion of the lift the weight starts to increase until it is at its max weight at the top of the lift or where the athlete is at their strongest. You can use bands or chains for the accommodated resistance. This is only used by our advanced athletes, this is not for everyone. Check out this deadlift video using chains for my resistance.
Nice lifting coach! Sure is a nice new gym you are working out in too (wink wink)....guessing that is where training is Thursday - yes?
