TL;DR

Brazilian scientists have discovered a simple technique to increase growth hormone (GH) levels by 1,700%, which can lead to enhanced muscle growth. The key is to focus on the eccentric phase of weightlifting, specifically by slowing down the lowering of weights. In a study, weightlifters who extended the eccentric phase to three seconds experienced significantly higher GH levels compared to those who lifted quickly. Manipulating eccentric movement speed can induce a greater metabolic stress and GH response, resulting in faster and more intense muscular change. Incorporating two- to six-week workout phases featuring three-second eccentrics can lead to easy gains in muscle growth.
