In other words, if I do 2 triples, I have to really control the eccentrics on the first 2 reps of 2 sets (4 eccentrics) and can practically just drop from the bar for the third of each set. If I do 3 doubles, I control 3 eccentrics and practically just drop from the final rep of each double. If I do 6 singles, I don't have to really do any eccentrics at all. Add it up over 61 or 76 reps, and the eccentrics saved add up.
