To see eccentric contraction, look at the biceps curl with flexion around the elbow. As you lower a weight, you are working against resistance, letting the joint angle increase to lower that object under your control.

The opposite is the concentric contraction were the arm is flexed upward to decrease the angle at the elbow.
