P90x3 & T25 Hybrid workout schedule: Lower eccentric

Todays workout was lower eccentric under my P90x3 & T25 Hybrid workout schedule.  The workout is only thirty minutes which is great since I am not a big fan of doing legs which lower eccentric concentrates on.  The eccentric workout concentrates on the negative of the exercise increasing the time under tension by 50%. 

There are three distinct phases in the movement of muscles and tendons: isometric (no movement), concentric   (contracting) and eccentric (extracting). All three of these stages in muscles movements have an effect on muscle tissues and tendons (tendons are what attach the muscle to the bone).
Eccentric training focuses on slowing down the elongation of the muscle process in order to challenge the muscles, which can lead to stronger muscles, faster muscle repair and increasing the metabolic rate .
