I think within 7 months you can be at a 2.5x bw squat. That's this summer man. Crazy.

Blank and Jones! I remember them back in the day... I was like 10 years old when they were popular. I was probably the ONLY kid in my school who knew them because I lived in NYC so everyone was listening to nsync, backstreet boys and other gay shit.
And this makes me happy, a new trance track with a 2002 feel:

Man I'd give anything for it to be 1997 right now and watch trance rise in popularity from the underground scene... WITH UNDERGROUND TRANCE, not popular mainstream trance!

Well in pretty much any kind of unilateral lowerbody movement you aren't truly using 0% of the non-trained leg... your other leg pushes off on the step up, stabalizes and even pushes a little on a lunge and bulgarian split squat... etc
But about the leg press, that does seem to isolate one leg. Can anyone find any reason why your legs will push more independently? What's the science behind that? The only thing I can think of is that maybe your leg is better positioned for producing/transferring force in the position you're in during a unilateral lift. Also, I forgot where, but I read a study where they proved that the "greater neural whatever" is not higher in a unilateral movement than bilateral. To clarify, it's not true that your right leg has more neural activity during a one legged squat on the right leg verses a two legged squat, even though you're more focused on that leg.

Whatever it is, I was doing 325 for 3x5 last month. Then I missed a workout day... Yesterday I did 275 for 3x5 with a bit of struggling.
Can you provide some useful links for me because I can't find any about those two things you mentioned.

I'm convinced that high frequency squatting is the thing for me. It's no coincidence that EVERRYYYY TIMEEEEE that I miss a single workout day, or it gets delayd by a day, I HIT A SLUMP. Some people might say "oh, its a nice deload, you'll come back stronger" but it never happens to me!!! Fuck it, I'm doing smolov jr for at least 3 weeks when I have break from college.

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Re: Resting Heart Rate
« on: December 09, 2010, 02:19:16 pm »I have about 62-64...
From what I know of, the heart of all the animals has pretty much the same limit in terms of lifetime and beats. The only difference is that for some animals it beats faster, for others, slower.
couch potatoes live longer??? they're hearts have less beats than athletes for sure.

It's kinda true I mean... during last basketball season, I was doing maximal sprints and jumps Mon thru Fri due to basketball practice or games, and I was also squatting heavy as possible with 4x7 and hitting PR's about 7 weeks in a row. Holy shit. I went from like 245x7 to 290x7

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / atg squats vs ROCK BOTTOM squats?
« on: December 02, 2010, 10:07:12 pm »

I've posted that video before. Anyway, that's what some people would consider a true atg squat.
HOWEVER, I can go like 2-3 inches lower than that. It's weird, after a certain point in my squat, I reach this threshhold where as soon as I pass a certain depth (which is the depth in that video), the squat LITERALLY gets twice as hard. And I mean I am ACTUALLY sitting on my calves and the hamstrings are compressing against my calves! Plus, I seem to lose a lot of balance and I realllllly have to grind the rep out if I reach this depth.
Is this the depth that olympic lifters squat to??? Or is it enough to just touch the calves and hamstrings for a lil bounce and go back up?
I call these rock bottoms squats just to distinguish the two. Does anyone else experience what I wrote up there?
The thing is, when I did rock bottom squats today, I did 295 x 5 4 2 (and failed the 3rd rep on the last set).
It was the first time I've ever failed a rep in squats in my life. A few weeks ago, I did 325x3x5 with the depth in that video up there.
The thing is this squatting has really killed my confidence a lot. I've dropped 30lbs in the work sets just doing it and it's just a 2-3 inch difference!!!
