Squat DR helped a lot of people. He had a big squat as well. Does that make him not "attackable"?

Explain yourself please, this is a bit confusing. What are you talking about?

Well Andrew hinted that people (RJ) should not "snap" at you just because you squat a lot you're a special person than someone else or something. Like RJ could snap at another guy but not at you since you work and squat a lot and help people around. Like, who cares? We're pretty much the same around here, we all work our butts off, I know I am for 10 years, so - who cares?

It was a matter of RJ's opinion vs yours and nothing more.

Man that court looks just great, and I love those clouds on the sky.

1-leg FOR THE WIN

What about BSS vs Squat for one leg jumpers? You can say BSS is more specific, but uses less total weight. However, is the total weight important? Or is what important the amount of load per leg?

For example:

What would be more difficult (let's pretend the guy doing this has no issues with balancing):

5 reps with 80 kg on the BSS
OR
5 reps with 160 kg on the squat.

How do you define "difficult"? How do you define the training effect that happens after doing this ^^^? What is more important - the amount of tension that occurs in the leg in the BSS or the amount of overall "body" tension that occurs during the squat? What if you use say 130 kg on the squat? What then? Can you say that a BSS makes you aware and able to concentrate all your might (nervous energy if you will) on one limb better than a squat would do?

Obviously the thing is, in training, consistency. That's what's important. But we talk about stuff like this because we (at least I do) like the challenge of deciphering all these "enigmas" (for some, others have a strong belief in one method or another).

I think Pavel Tsatsouline said that what's most important is the amount of tension in a muscle more than anything, it doesn't matter through what methods - traditional, iso, eccentric, whatever.

What if we go the other way around? Say, with an easier exercise like the leg press vs the squat? The leg press doesn't require any stabilization that you require in the squat just as the BSS or lunge requires less stabilization vs the shrimp.

So far, less need for stabilization was actually better.
