X-Rep training is simply placing a muscle in its completely contracted position, or close to it, against resistance and holding it there until the muscle can no longer contract. Once you achieve fatigue overload, you slowly lower the weight through the eccentric range of motion, and the set is complete. It's a very intense form of muscle overload that's relatively easy to measure - not in number of reps but in seconds.

An X-Rep set should consist of one 20-second contraction and a slow, six-second negative. That's it. For the technique to be most effective, you use it on exercises that place the target muscle in a complete contraction against resistance - a.k.a., the contracted-position movements in the POF training protocol.

Thats if you mean X-Rep static contraction training.
