occurs when tension developed in the cross-bridges is less than the external resistance, and the muscle lengthens. In other words, a muscle action in which the muscle lengthens because the contractile force is less than the resistance force. During the slow, controlled, downward phase of the biceps curl, the muscle exerts enough force to slow the decent of the barbell, but insufficient force to stop the descent or raise the barbell
