You are probably wondering what TriCon training is.  I\u2019m glad you asked. This type of training helps burn fat and grow muscle while reducing strain on your muscles. As we turn 40, lifting weight becomes more complicated as our muscles cannot take much stress, or maybe our health condition leaves us with less strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, if you are willing to start a workout regime and have come across the term Tricon Training, you must be wondering what it\u2019s all about. Let me explain what Tricon training means and how you can get started with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Tricon Training?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TriCon refers to Triple Contraction, which includes three contraction types in workouts. These are Concentric, Eccentric, and Isometric. Before explaining what TriCon training means, I\u2019ll first explain these three contractions because that\u2019ll help you better understand the type of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Concentric<\/a>: This type of contraction means shortening the muscle. Bench press would be a perfect example as it requires you to shrink your power at the lowest position of the exercise. If you do a complete bench press rep, you will shorten the muscle while lowering the bar to your chest. The beginning position of the biceps curl is another example of concentric.<\/li>
  2. Eccentric: Eccentric means stretching or lengthening the muscle. This type of contraction is just the opposite of concentric. An example will be a bench press, where you need to extend your power at the top or final position of the exercise. When you do bench press, you need to stretch the muscle while pushing the bar upwards.<\/li>
  3. Isometric: The third type of contraction is neither concentric nor eccentric. It means that isometric doesn\u2019t require stretching or shortening your muscles. If you consider the bench press an example, an isometric hold will occur when you pause for a little at the midway of raising the bar. Though your muscles won\u2019t stretch or shorten at this position, they will still be contracting.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, TriCon is a set of these three types of contractions that you can implement in multiple exercises such as bench press, biceps curl, and others. The purpose of TriCon is to work on every muscle belly of the targeted muscle so that it gets stimulated and you shed off stubborn fat quickly while growing muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    TriCon sets also help men and women to produce testosterone hormone and thereby maintain their reproduction and bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
