I did strength and speed training for most my lifting years. All about power and explosiveness. I hear alot of talk about negative reps for building mass. Is this truly effective, and if so, what is the proper count to use.

Not worth the trouble IMO. Others might disagree however.



EDIT: What I was talking about was a negative with a weight you can't lift yourself. I agree with everything that has been said so far.

I do them , but more with a controlled weight . Meaning I lift the weight on my own and come down very slow . Some people have a spotter and overload the bar so that they have the spotter lift it and they come down very slow on there own.

I think that is way to dangerous and would never do it. If I can't lift the weight on my own I'm not going to trust myself to bring in down on my own slowly.

I don't think it's better for mass , but it may help you blast through some sticky points in your lifts.

3-4 seconds down.

a good controlled negative is all you need.

I would just focus more on the neg/pos of each rep.

Make each rep count for 2. if that make sense.

Not really Joker. About how slow up and down do I need to be.

What I mean is pick a weight that you have control over. Make every rep count.

example: Barbell curl, pick a weight that you can control, meaning you don't need to use your hips, back to swing the weight up.

then instead of just "dropping the weight back to the starting position, control it all the way down.
