Before we attempt to manipulate intensity as a variable in training, we first should define what failureactually is. I like to break it down into three stages: technical failure, concentric failure, and eccentricfailure.
Anatomical Architecture Actions We Should Care About *Note: Because hip extension is the primary function of the glute complex, the “Primary Movements” sections below will focus mostly on this pattern.
WHAT IS IT? “EQI” is an acronym for Eccentric Quasi-Isometric. In lay terms, this is a technique that starts with a quasi-isometric hold (i.e. isohold) in a mechanically advantageous portion of a rep. When the hold can no longer be maintained, the eccentric should be performed as slow as possible and
