well, it's not like carl lewis wasn't impressive prior to utilizing "iso-like methods", he didn't make a "transformation", he always was elite.. you could correlate the lifting & running slower thing, but, it's most likely just due to age and wear & tear.. lifting was a last ditch effort i imagine, to maintain his power.
gotta start working on those designs soon.. i want beanies, shirts, and high socks.
bam
he's a beast for sure but i'd be surprised if he wins WSM, he's just too tall imo.. can't win a few events being that tall: squat, deadlift, and press.. i'd imagine at least.. i'd be curious to see how he placed in those in 2009 WSM, probably was his downfall.
ok i was kind of right, but he's right there, he does suffer slightly in those events:

dno he's in the running for #1 this year cool, glad zadrunes got one though.
well, i did shotokahn (however you spell it) karate for ~8 years or so, from around age 8 to 16, with my dad, in a really hard oldschool "dojo".. anyway, we did horse stances every class, we'd be in that stance for a long time, throwing punches/blocks etc.. i became extremely good at it, could hold them forever, but it didn't make me any more powerful that's for sure.. i did that 3x/week for those 8 years.
perhaps it lead to some of my quad dominance, who knows, but, it definitely didn't lead to "powerful quads".
high rep calf raises is just a great way to completely fatigue every MU, i can't seem to do it with low rep calf raises, not one bit.. my calfs will feel dead but i'll feel i have alot more left in the tank, hard to explain.. with high rep calf raises, they are completely fatigued and I feel i tapped into everything I possibly could, plus it makes them feel really good and keeps the risk of tweaking the achilles a little lower.
What about a basketball "aggresive" defensive stance?. If I really really play defense and hold that defensive stance, I get sooo tired in the quads and calves... it's really weird. I basically stay in that defensive stance position more or less isometric in nature, with just a small knee/hip angle variation. It's interesting what you guys think about that?
