Hi,
im going to be in my 2 weeks negatives real soon, but i dont know how i could do negatives on most of my exercises...
this is my routine :
leg press , seated calf raises , leg curls
Bench press , seated machine Flys
Back rows , lat pulldowns ( chinups )
Shoulder raises
Barbell bicep curls, seated decline dumbbell bicep curl
tricep pulldown , dips
wrist curls, reverse wrist curls
decline sit ups , crunches
so how can i do negatives on most of these exercises ? i cant, id have to be able to push/pull the weight first then lower it slowly...
I workout with a friend who could spot me, but the only exercise that i could do negatives with would be bench press ...
This is the solution i came up with,
i put my 5rm max, i do the concentric movement then ask my friend to add 5-10 lbs on the machine ( there are little free weights you can add on top of the weights ure lifting ), and i lower the weight , this would be good for all cable exercises. but is 5-10lbs enough ? id do 3 set of 5 rep .
for exercises like barbell bicep curls, i would switch to bicep curls on a cable machine where my friend could add weight when im at the top of the concentric movement.
i could even do progressive loading negatives, during the first week only add 5lbs, and second week 10lbs,
but i really dont know if 5-10lbs is enough...
what do you guys think i should do
