i just checked the first vid and it was really cool!!! I'm going to watch the others tomorrow...
I'm 100% sure that i'm going to do 100m sprinting some time in my life, dno when tho
I thought about entering a track meet this summer...
adarq, I thought olympic lifts such as the power clean, power snatch, hang clean.... were supposed to get that strength and power transition that you get from half/quatter squatting.
they can.. sure.. but half/quarter squatting with speed would provide more of a maximal AND explosive strength stimulus.. oly lifts by themselves, for example, will decrease your 'explosive strength deficit', ie, give you more power based on your maximal strength levels.. you're only going to snatch/clean based on your front squat ceiling..
half squats (and possibly quarter squats), that focus on speed on each rep (no matter the rep range), will lead to more maximal AND explosive strength gains, hypertrophy (due to TUT), etc.
that's one of the many reasons I don't NEED to oly... my main reason for not oly'n however, is due to form/technique/lack of interest... so, due to the fact that i don't really incorporate any "traditional" explosive strength exercises (oly's), I have to make up for it with reactive work, sprints/jumps, and speed (even w/ heavy singles) during my squatting.QuoteYou stated that you must first strengthen your gultes with parallel squats THEN move on to half squats...That sounds interesting to me, I will hopefully get 2.2xBW someday and maybe incorporate these half squats into the mix.
you DEEP squat though.. big diff.. i might have typo'd with what you're saying, but i said, people should incorporate HALF squats before moving on to quarters.. not parallel before moving on to half..QuoteAnother point i was curious about, do half squats only help jumping? In my mind I get the idea that only full squats will help sprinting(which I do to refresh your memory )
based on our discussion, why the hell would "only full squats help sprinting" ??????????? im so confused by that....
bottom line, half and possibly quarter improves athletic performance (vert/speed) far greater than ATG.. the end..
when you read stuff like, "ben johnson squatted 600 for 8 reps", realize it was ABOVE PARALLEL OFF A BOX................... roided but one of the fastest people to ever grace this planet, he never went deep, and charlie francis didn't give a shit.QuoteI like the broscience!

My doc said don't do deadlifts cuz my couzin blowed his back out doing them....now he's in a wheelchair.......he was taking cleatine too with deadlifts and the doc said his kidneys are almost blowed out too from it.....plus it made his temper really bad and he wanted to kick everybody's ass and creatin made him put some other guy in the hospital cuz he went off playin a pickup game..
