Workouts | Form Fixes | Muscle Growth

The difference isn’t always about lifting heavier — rep control matters.

Chris Bumstead uses controlled reps and a slow eccentric on movements like the incline dumbbell press to keep tension on the chest and make every rep count.

Try this 4-second negative on your next chest workout:

⬇️ 4 seconds down
⬆️ 1 second up
🔥 8–12 controlled reps

A slower eccentric increases time under tension and can help you maintain better control and focus on the chest muscles throughout the movement.

If your goal is chest growth, muscle hypertrophy, bigger pecs, and better chest activation, stop rushing through your reps.

Control the weight. Control the rep. Make the chest work. 💪

Save this for your next push day / chest workout.
