To make things easier let's divide a REP into three parts :
1)positive
2)STATIC ( where we SHOULD hold a good muscular contraction )
3) negative
For MAXIMUM muscular growth stimulation, what do you guys think it's the optimal way to perform a REP ?
From personal experience I would say a good rep consists of a controlled positive followed by a good static muscular contraction, ended by controlling the negative on the way back.
I've seen people perform an explosive positive, skip the static, and than drop the weights back on the negative like maniacs...
