Maximize Your Results with The “Perfect” Rep

25th Dec edition of Manximize’s Shredded Sunday Newsletter

I’m fed up with the atrocious swinging curls and dog-sh*t deadlifts I see everywhere.

With such form and rep quality, your “3 sets of 8 to 12 reps” won’t do jack.

With exercise, quality >> quantity.

Read that again.

With that said, I’ll show you how to perform “perfect” reps. For every rep:

• Explosively perform the positive: The positive or the “concentric” is when you lift the weight. By explosively performing this, you tax your muscles more.
• Hold and squeeze at peak contraction: This is the bottom of a squat or the top of a curl — by pausing, you maximize muscular tension and stimulate more growth.
• Control the negative: While lowering the weight, do it under control — this stimulates higher muscle damage.

P.S: In the illustration, the second stage shows a generic isometric pause—not peak contraction.
