Strength Deficit: Leveraging Ratios Between Eccentric and Concentric Strength

by Tim Caron

Strength Deficit is a framework that will dive into how to leverage Eccentric or Concentric contractions to create a specific outcome. The desired outcome may be to become more oriented to Eccentric (Large Deficit) or to Concentric (Small Deficit). This book will explain why Strength Deficit is an essential concept for your athletes and will supply you with a detailed, scientific road map of how to get there.

This is the ‘Technical’ aspect of Strength Deficit. In this book, you will learn How and Why Strength Deficit will work in your setting with your Athletes! Strength Deficit is one of the best strength and conditioning books I’ve read in a long time. I can’t stress the depth Tim went into with this book. The information presented and subsequent real-world applications are second-to-none. Tim provides specific examples of how to apply the discussed concepts into a holistic training program. This book will change your thinking as a coach and help position yourself to be on the cutting edge of an ever evolving industry. — Joey Bergles, MS, CSCS, FRCms, FRA, Metabolic Analytics, DNS A I have just finished reading your book and it resulted in 9 pages of notes – The Strength Deficit is easily one of the best books I have ever read, and I read a lot. To me the book was a bit complicated, but the basic idea is very simple, as is usually the case = train what you need to improve and understand what kind of training you need to do. Your book cleared a lot of things for me, even things I did not know I was having problems with. — Jan Vilkko, Jalostamo Training
