Nah, snatch. ;D

Not really, squat. But still, 3 sets of 10 reps is hell with ~100 kg at my current level.

I don't see too much hobbling back and forth to be honest.

Cq, according to Adam Linkenbondage, he used squatflex before performing that jump.

Why^^^?

I mean, you switch from going extremely low calories to going extremely high in a hurry.

Your very long torso for sure makes the movement really weird, but the bar actually travels pretty well vertically in my opinion so the form is pretty good.

I like series movies, so Star Trek TNG takes the cake, by far. Then it is Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Prison Break.

Where do you do the natural GHRs? Do they bother your knees? I ditched them ever since they messed my knee up permanently.

Definitely. I think I'm going to stick with 10 reps for a month or so and then get back to 3x4-6.

By the way, did 3x10 with 100 Wednesday and I haven't recovered yet... soreness is immense. Going with BSS and deadlift today.

I think I'm going to do 3x10 for a while, just to break out of the groove. Will get back to 4-6 rep sets in the near future but for a while I'll go with 10 rep sets.

I'm not sure about gaining weight though... I worked pretty hard to lose weight and get lighter and suffer less from landings and jumps, and also benefit from more speed in my one leg jumps. I'm very close to being too heavy for one-leg jumping in my opinion, at ~85 kg I'm really heavy for one-leg jumping, I'm at 79.7 kg now.

So they kind of beat each other up, my goals, of gaining muscle and not getting heavy.

So what you're essentially saying is that I could go on with 3x4-6 since that type of training is more specific to what my target is in terms of athletic goals but doing some assistance work like RDLs 2x8 or BSSs 2x8 would help in my wish for more hypertrophy as a additional stimuli.

But is 2x8 "enough" of a stimuli for hypertrophy? Do these 2 sets really make any difference at all?

I have another reason to go with lower weights, especially after yesterday's workout: each one of my reps was a struggle, a grinder. With a lighter weight and more reps I can be more explosive and move the weight a bit faster. I have trained for so much at a heavy weight/slow concentric pace that I believe going now with this protocol might help me.

So I'm going to go with 3x10 for a while and see what happens. Granted, there's more opportunity for focus and form to shy away with more reps but I will see what happens. Do you think 10 reps are too much (too low of an intensity and too close to a bodybuilding protocol) in terms of training for strength?
