It's weird to me that you're getting heavier and heavier towards the end. I'd be dead if I were to go 5x5 with the last set being the heaviest.

I go low volume towards a heavy weight, squat close to 1RM for potentiation (and maybe unrack ~150%) and then come back to my work set weight and move that pretty explosive.

Why don't you go to 120 kg as your first set and then back down from there? I think you'd do your rest sets better after you get potentiated from that heavy first set.

At what depth?

Yeah but I don't get what's going on... the hamstrings are too weak to assist in the hip extension so he automatically bends at the knee to... what? I mean why would you (you = the body) take away some additional force that the hamstrings, even weak, would still produce to help the glutes?

I was asking because these Olympic athletes take a very long run-up for long jumps. It would be really interesting to know what's the longest run-up such an athlete took (what, 50 meters?)

Lance, what were the numbers of the single leg box squat when your athletes were doing them? I'm curious how strong they were in that movement, them being high level.

You need to establish what depth we are talking about first...

Maybe you just tweaked it and you didn't immediately felt it. If that is so it has nothing to do with exercise selection.

Actually, I have a long palm and find it weird to grab the bar on deadlifts... because instead of having a short, strong palm I have a palm with long and thin fingers than can't hold on to the bar well and the bar ends up held on the weak side of the fingers so to speak (at the fingers' middle distance).

I guess he's bending the knees to shorten the hamstring at the knee joint and thus taking tension off them... does that mean he does them glute dominant?

Lance, do you know the longest run-up your own athletes have ever had?

4525
At what % of your 1RM would you say the reps are starting to get slow?

You should film your snatches...

4527
Which is under 3 seconds per rep :D

How much do you leg curl vs leg extend?

3 seconds per rep is a lot
