��Does eccentric training cause muscle growth?!
It absolutely does, but only when the weight lifted eccentrically is heavier than what you can lift concentrically.
Let's use this example.
If you were to purely do a biceps curl concentrically (the upwards portion) with 100 pounds for 8 reps, you would get more muscle growth than if you were to lift the weight eccentrically (the downward portion). However, if you were to lift 130 pounds eccentrically and get help on the concentric portion, you would have more muscle growth!
