After lifting on my normal program with my buddies the other day, they mentioned doing negatives for adding bulk.
By negatives, they said putting on more weight than normal and, for instance, in a bench press, the spotter would help lift the bar and the person lifting would be responsible for lowering it on his/her own.
In my mind that would work different muscles, but I don't know. Can anyone tell me if this is, in fact, a proven or effective method?
--------------------------------------
Also, my friends want me to come work out in the morning as well. They, essentially, do a burn out set of push ups, sit ups, and dips. Essentially an aerobic work out with very little muscle building and a lot of fat burn. They do this MWF.
I still want to stay on my current workout plan which is a rotation where I lift every night (Shoulders and Back, Legs, Chest, etc...). Would doing both of these plans be detrimental to me in any way?
Thanks,
