RC PE2 Form Check

Hey all. Been stuck between 5*6r and 5*9r for a long time. Like, a long time. I've tried adding more volume, changing the tempo, increasing frequency, and nothing seems to work. Is something wrong with my form?

Feeling frustrated. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Benjaming, a 3 seconds negative is a lot, exception for bodybulding program. 1-2 seconds controlled is enough.

Hey Alessandro. I was doing 3-second negatives to see if slowing down the tempo would help me build strength by adding more time under tension and eventually increase repetitions. I'll go back to 1s negatives for the time being.

Any other pointers on form or anything?

If you stuck on 5x9r, you can consider as the first option to complete the reps you need to finish the working set with 15'' pause.

i mean if you are doing 5x9r and you do 9 9 9 9 6. when you reach the 6 in the last set, you will stop 15 seconds, then you will do last 3 reps. week over week reduce the time to 10'', then 5'' then you should be able to finish also the last set.
