It's pretty fast.. it's never "come apart" when I mess up with it. Has nice long handles for a variety of grips.

bss for singles reminds me of frank yang's crazy bad form bss from his training montage vids from way back (IIRC).

definitely echo vag & lbss.. lighten those BSS's up and hit 6-8 reps until your glutes/hams/quads fall off (with good form).

Just ask yourself what you're trying to achieve with singles on BSS? Even for squat, what's the objective? If you are doing submax squat singles, ie, 80-95% and working on speed, or trying to achieve some kind of stim, then that's a decent objective. As for BSS, you could technically focus on speed (with lighter loads). STIM would better be achieved by something bilateral like squat. So those are a few use cases for doing singles @ submax percentages.

For the most part though, the best use case for unilaterals is just good old fashioned general strength, hypertrophy, and creating a greater stimulus for stabilizers (muscles responsible for stability of the ankle, knee, torso). All of that can be trained just fine in the 5-12 rep range.

When your glutes completely die at ~6 reps, good stuff.

go talk to andre agassi. his dad invented a machine that would spit a ludicrous number of balls at his kids, at high speed. little andre, at like 6 years old, would have to hit the balls as soon as they bounced off the ground or they'd go over his reach. and that is why he was the greatest off-the-rise returner ever.

if you're looking for a book to read, his autobiography is great.

dope.. any footage of that? just searched, couldn't find any. probably a good chance that there's no footage, would be cool to see though.

ball machinessss!!!

in non-fitness news: i read a lot -- at least 20 books a year since college and usually more than 25 -- but i counted up last august and realized that only 25% or so of the books i'd read over the previous 4+ years were by women. no good excuse for that, so i decided to read nothing but women for the rest of the year and afterward try to keep the balance 50/50. i've read 47 books since then (35 in 2015 so far) and 28.5 of them are by women. just picked up 48 and 49, both by women. good job, me.

never even thought of that (men vs women authors). I mostly read computer programming, operating system internals books, or papers; hardly any women authors in computer science.
