This protocol adds an eccentric emphasis to the second half of the standard protocol. It introduces more meaningful eccentric loading that follows significant pre-activation / pre-fatigue.
shift
This foundational protocol is ideal for both introductory exercise and deep workouts that leverage thorough sequential recruitment and fatigue.
standard
The total of prescribed time for dynamic concentric and eccentric movements should be no less than 40 seconds and no more than 120 seconds for any set. Since Exerbotics® total running time includes transition time in between concentric and eccentric actions the total running time will be greater than the total of prescribed concentric and eccentric load time. By way of example, a set with a 4-second concentric and 4-second eccentric prescription that also prescribes five repetitions equals a prescribed dynamic load time of 40 seconds which would be the minimum permissible prescribed dynamic load time. The total running time for this set as displayed on the Exerbotics® screen will be greater than 40 seconds.
