Reply to comment by dfreinc in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

Oh I get it know, you’re an idiot. My apologies. Best of luck to your long and difficult life.

He’s saying most bang for your Buck movements. Only working eccentric on compound lifts is only 1/3rd of the equation.

That’s just not how it works. Working slow is overlooked but if we’re trying to combine both improving your muscular development and your athletic performance you can’t just work slow the whole time. You have to be able to control the weight at the bottom of the movement (isometric, good for tendons and energy transfer) and through the explosive movements (concentric)

Really alternating pacing should be as common as changing rep ranges. Programs that vary eccentric isometric and concentric are more effective at developing all aspects of the muscle

A better way to look at it is Vertical/Horizontal Press Vertical/Horizontal Pulls, Hip Hinge, Lunges, Step Ups.

Lunges and Step ups are the most under utilized aspects of strength building in the lower body. If you were to imagine your hip bone as a bucket, both squats and deadlifts would spill water forwards/ backwards out of the bucket. Neither exercise changes the plane of movement

Lunges move your hips as if you were spinning the bucket clockwise/counter clockwise

True step ups (laterally) move your hips as if you were tipping a bucket left and right.

Don’t neglect the planes of movement just because you want sick quads. Won’t mean shit if you’re just over working the same plane.
