« on: November 02, 2010, 06:44:11 am »not questioning it, but what's the pathway u think high rep 'strength' work increases ur max str? or what are u after with 400-800 lunges/session? cant even think at increasing work capacity through that
try 400 walking lunges, 4 x 100 tot, see what happens to you.. your legs will be smashed, quads (vmo especially), hamstrings, and glutes, will be demolished (calfs aren't demolished but they are hit nicely).. now do that every 4th/5th day for a few weeks, you'll notice your legs are bigger & considerably stronger, and that you are able to recover very fast from those sessions (instead of 5 days soreness, you have 1-2).. now notice your squat should have gone up.
high volume lunging is just a shitload of work in a weak rom (deep lunge, ball of foot).. you really can't lunge with a bar/db's on ball of foot in that position either, it becomes too intense.. so, after adapting to 400-800 total reps, you'll see increased strength, bigger legs, and alot less reluctance to do things unilaterally-ballisticly.. a new "confidence" is gained for explosive/ballistic single leg movements such as jumps/bounds etc.
bottom line; strength increases, mass increases, work capacity increases, cns is not drained.

previous record was 3544, getting closer to 4,000
