Interesting points here. I have wondered about this too. That is, the lack of eccentric tension on my EMOM press-ups because of the need to get the 10/11/12 or whatever no. of press-ups out within the minute and also allow enough(max) recovery time for the following set.

It's the key reason (not allowing eccentric time) why I don't use EMOM for bicep curls, and only time the periods between sets instead. Also, I'm very hesitant at rushing this reps as I know it will affect my form and possibly lead to injury, etc.

Any thoughts?
He does stress towards the end of the video that eccentric lowering is not of much benefit if the task is too easy - for example press-ups, if you can do say 30. So if you are doing only 10, then eccentric lowering is even more pointless.

There must be a study somewhere comparing eccentric and non eccentric lowering of the same exercise.
