It is? I've seen it marketed with no problems here. So I guess it does something if it's banned, right? Or its effects are unknown and that's why it's banned?

I haven't deloaded for 4 months straight. Never felt the need to. When it's the time to deload you'll know it.

I don't know. I'm going to take a full week out. I don't care if I detrain. Just give some rest to my bones/articulations etc. And overall rest, I could be a bit overtrained.

:uhhhfacepalm:

My point exactly ^^^

I knew it immediately that I needed to deload. But otherwise, I kept going for months and months without needing any break.

Well high frequency squatting sure did increase my squat. Now the question is - is this good for athleticism? It will increase your squat, but I'm not sure if that's not ONLY movement efficiency improvements in the squat and that will not help you on the field. However, using heavier weights again and again will improve your body's explosiveness afterall, maybe even without increases in muscle (stronger neural signals).

In what way illegal? If you participate in official competitions or what?

Damn, 8x160?! Where did that come from? You're slowly getting kingfish status...

Yeah I thought so but wanted to hear HIM say this... he could've just as well (although not as likely) meant a % of 1RM or something.

Plus I bet he was more like 87.23%.

85% to parallel squat? What does that mean? ::)

Exactly. If you have these kinds of issues they are due to a bad warmup.

So let me get this straight: you think that wearing jumpsoles around is less risky for injuries than doing plyos with regular shoes? :ninja:

If I were you, I'd just be trying to lose that fat before you start complicating things with deloads etc.

This^^^

Imagine how well you'd jump at say ~12% bodyfat, with your posture dramatically improved and your muscle firing much better (better glute involvement) due to the improved posture. Your whole body would move different.

Why aren't you filming some of this stuff like the cleans and squats?

He's probably still at 20% bodyfat and immensly quad dominant and slow. Some people never learn.

What's worse than Crossfit?

People who work out for the "beach" aka bench and curls. Crossfit at least has people squatting/deadlifting.

I can live with that as long as they don't take the squat rack for biceps curls. But these crossfit guys seem like a new age of retardedness altogether.
