Assisted Negatives
These are a favorite of Lee Priests, which would explain the
absolutely insane mass that he has acquired on his
quadriceps! Simply lift a weight and have your partner
apply pressure on the negative portion of the rep. You need
to perform these on machines and or exercises that don't
risk trapping you under the weight. For example I would not
recommend this on a bench press, but I would recommend them
on pull-ups and barbell curls. Machines are the safest way
to go, so keep that in mind. If performing leg extensions
you would lift the weight concentrically by yourself, and
then on the eccentric portion have your partner apply as
much pressure as you can handle, while fighting the negative
on the way down! This takes advantage of the fact that you
can lift more weight on the negative portion of a rep then
the positive.
