Identify the concentric phase of the exercises

[stri8ted1]

Currently doing a course and looking for some help, im happy to rep those who help
thanks

pretty much, the concentric phase of the following exercises below

Barbell bench press
leg press
squat
V-grip seated row
Shoulder press
Lunge
lat pull down

pretty much, the concentric phase of the following exercises below

Barbell bench press <---bringing the weight down
leg pres <---same
squat <---same
V-grip seated row <---extending your arms
Shoulder press <---bringing the weight down
Lunge <---same
lat pull down <---extending the arms

Concentric phase is always the lowering of the weight, whether it's on a pulley system or not

I appreciate your help with this

no problem

no problem

I hope you're joking, or maybe just confused, but the concentric phase of those exercises is the opposite of what thegodjr said. Example, the concentric phase of the bench press is when you push the weight up. The concentric phase is always when the muscle shortens.

^^^^
Yea the other guy got it mixed up. Concentric is the part where you exert force. Pushing part of bench press, pulling part of back movements, extension of knee for quads, curling of leg for hamstrings.

The way I was told to help remember is Eccentric - Earth (down towards the earth), Concentric - Clouds (up towards the clouds)

Barbell bench press (pushing the weight up)
leg press (same as bench)
squat (getting back up)
V-grip seated row (pulling the weight towards you)
Shoulder press (same as bench)
Lunge (same as squat)
lat pull down (same as seated rows)

[thegodjr]

Ah yes, I have seemed to confuse concentric with eccentric.

Sorry op, but at least you got your answer!

pretty much, the concentric phase of the following exercises below

Barbell bench press When you are pushing the weight up
leg press When you are pushing the weight up
squat When you are pushing the weight up
V-grip seated row When you are pulling the weight towards you
Shoulder press When you are pushing the weight up
Lunge When you are pushing the weight up
lat pull down When you are pulling the weight down

I usually think of concentric as exerting force, and the negative portion as resisting a force.

This is the correct breakdown

Yeah when i read that guys post i panicked too, as I am studying a similar topic and was sure it was the opposite which it is, eccentric is the lowering phase and concentric the upper phase. Focusing on the eccentric is highly beneficial or so i am led to believe. He is correct if you switch concentric and eccentric around.

The way I was told to help remember is Eccentric - Earth (down towards the earth), Concentric - Clouds (up towards the clouds)

Eccentric - E = elongate Concentric - C = contract

[jdwhitney]

The best way to remember it is to simply learn what each is. Eccentric is a contraction in which the muscle is lengthening, concentric is shortening. That way you dont need up/down etc which isn't always true.

This is really helpful!
