The 2nd way is much better. There's no need for "CNS stimulation" - you can just use a heigher bench or, if not available, load yourself up with a weight vest if you want to increase the intensity of the depth jump.

But the actual correct mechanics are much more important. And the correct mechanics require a low ground contact time for a myriad of reasons - from more actual tendon contributions, or more use of the accumulated elastic energy, to teaching the CNS to fire quicker.

So that's the reasoning behind being quick on the depth jumps.

I was actually referring to seifullaah73 :P - the weights he squats are very light, that's why he can "afford" to relax in a paused squat. As soon as they get heavier, he'll find out that relaxing isn't really an option.

I hope Nutella was some sort of woman with a big butt

At the level he's at, he can probably "afford" to relax. The problem is that he's programming himself for injury soon enough.

You and your memory...

I'll make an effort to only eat 375g of Nutella per day instead of 750 from now on. That's only 2062.5 kcal.

PS. Sometimes high volume squatting has a weird reactive-bonus effect despite the high amount of fatigue. I remember adarqui reporting similar effects when doing MEBM 20 rep sets.

Thanks for the effort but... that sounds more complicated than brain surgery.

Yeah, makes sense. Since I hate food, and I don't eat too many "varieties", then it should be even easier in my case. I could never understand how you can calculate home-made food though - like soups and stuff like that. How do you know how much vegetables/meat is in the plate? And so on and so forth. Could never understand that.

Also, whenever I tried to do it, I would hit myself in 10000 terms for the food I wanted. If I wanted to see how many calories sheep cheese has, I would get 1000 sheep cheese varieties with differences in between them. How the hell would I know what my cheese is? It's just cheese, regular shit. Not swiss superrolled gh-31 hydrogenated quantum-mechanics tunneled cheese. Just give me the regular shit. But nooooooooo, it has to be ultra-complicated. Same with meat. They can't just say "chicken", it has to be feeu2irh23huiurhi4hr43r-HR314 chicken with active isotopes.

So that's why I never made an effort to do anything about it.

The only thing I would do would be to keep the bar closer to the body, grazing the shins. Also, your eccentric form is different from the concentric one.

Nice. Do you do it "by ear" (nothing really calculated, just eat less) or do you calculate stuff?

What do you do differently nutritionally-wise vs. your "regular" diet?

I get the most soreness ever from BSSs in the glutes, but usually from dumbbell BSSs.
