Muscular endurance and building muscular endurance should not include any movements that include major eccentric loads.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

I'm going to be very cautious of Ecentric movements because they will um they will generate more soreness than relative

Soreness generally is due to a novel response or novel stimuli. And usually it's primarily due to the eccentric component of exercise. And that, by the way, can also be done through, let's say, downhill running would be an eccentric form of aerobic training. But let's just focus on the resistance-training aspect where the lowering...so, eccentric is a lowering...basically, lengthening, muscles are lengthening under tension. And even concentric exercise can cause soreness and there's muscle damage that occurs but it seems to be also more specific to, so, muscle damage and even damage within the epimysium or extracellular matrix.
