Also, that 'drive of the night' highlight was TOO sick man, fastdontlie*243597

Holy sh*t.

New dunk?
Insane coordination, power/hops (5'9? srs?) and flair.

EMO ALERT

quick LBSS-counter:

Never, ever, ever, give up. Your body can go farther and harder than you can imagine.

(yea that shit stuck w. me, come at me bro)

brb going to eat steak and make sure my testosterone level didn't plumet too much.

Meh.
Its an oppinion thing:

I gotta stay
Children of the world

Are all deeper songs that touched me(!) more than anything on R4E.
Plus there's more of a diverse selection of energy vs thought.
I mean what song can you play before your w.o. off of R4A?
See me on top, voices, country shit allways get me AMP'd and PR ready.

However, you can hear dude's development musically and Im not taking away anything from R4E (shit bangs).
Still giving it a spin every day and finding something new every time around, dude is Great.

I like the outkast comparison too, but people forget how witty and intelligent TI used to be (street legend is on some illmatic ass shit) and took him over outkast 'cause dude is riding solo pretty much all the way.

nah, tendons won't be used for "stability", it's still an effort stabilized by the muscles, and i'm not doing anything torsional so it's not a big strain on the ligaments..

if that were an issue, 400m runners would have major "tendon issues" etc.. fatiguing the muscles has nothing to do with the tendons, once your muscles are dead, you won't be able to do any more reps.. it's not like a "plyo" exercises where you can keep forcing reps after fatigue, that would hit the tendons alot harder because the muscles stay stiff and the tendons act as springs.. not the same with lifting soo..

You sure?
I'm talking strech reflexes (which ultimately you'd want to eliminate imo) and when you're going all the way down sitting into your position. Pretty sure that if you're squatting deep w. drained muscles, you wouldn't be able to slow down the excentric portion of the lift as well and would rely more and more on the stretch of your ligaments, it's a feel thing though, I'm not sure.

well no one is saying to lift with bad form, you go to technical failure, not complete and utter failure..

true.

yup i promote this with half squat, not full squat.. people are fine trying full squat but i'd advise against it and utilize half squatting instead, high frequency heavy deep knee bends increases risk of some joint/meniscus related issues of the knee.

sure there is a risk with any high frequency protocol but going DEEP every session would be alot more fatiguing structurally.

pC!

Guess we agree, going to add some high repping, limited ROM lifts this off season for sure!

Pics looking good breh

ya it is definitely good for vertical, the legs are a little different than the rest of the body in that there is just so much leg mass that needs to be recruited.. high rep squatting recruits more mu's than < 10 rep squatting, for example, just standing with the bar that long (while squatting) will murder the quads, so as you're fatiguing the hamstrings/glutes/quads while you squat, quads are also being maximally fatigued extra just from being under tension that long (holding at the top to hit the next rep etc).. the feeling after a 10RM and a 20 rep breathing squat is WAAAAAAAAAY different.. 20 rep breathing squat is extreme jello, mostly due to quads being completely fatigued.. so in a 20 rep breather, you get everything maixmally fatigued, hams/glutes/quads, this leads to quicker adaptations for strength/mass/etc. bar speed is good on 20 reppers (and anything from 10-12RM), so that's also a bonus.

so ya regardless, if 20 reppers make you stronger relative to bodyweight, then they improve vert.. they definitely aren't an endurance lift imo, i get stronger very fast when i incorporate 20 reppers.

But wouldn't the high rep squatting have negative effects on the nervous system and also the tendons? Although you are getting a lot stronger, you're nervous system is getting murdered thus leading to over training.

no, why would it have a negative effect on the nervous system if i do multiple 20's per day and then jump higher the next day? etc?

forget everything you've read regarding high rep lifting and the nervous system, it's bullshit.

the only valid issue you brought up is, "overtraining", but i lift 3-4x/day for ~3 weeks now and i'm not overtrained.. the only reason i've even accumulated some fatigue is because of my lack of sleep problem, which isn't related to lifting in the least.

read the LTMP thread, it'll explain why the nervous system isn't an issue.. high rep squatting recruits ALL MOTOR UNITS, those that would lie dormant every day had you not recruited them, without the fatigue of higher intensity lifting, high rep lifting is a submax way to recruit those MU's and cause adaptations for using them/hypertrophying them.

again, is 100m sprinting going to cause negative adaptations for the CNS? it's 3-4 seconds over the ATP-PC energy system limit, and a high level of lactic acid is accumulated.. same goes for 200m or even 400m? as long as you get in maximally explosive work, those distances aren't going to cause any negative effect on the cns, in fact they do the opposite.. if one was going to stay entirely in the explosive realm, they'd have to stay 60m or less (6-7 seconds or less), never accumulating any significant amount of lactic acid during any effort, etc.. that would result in very shitty gains, but that would feed the "explosive theorists" and make them think what they are doing is correct for becoming maximally explosive.. they would also probably avoid heavy lifting since that is "slow" and causes adaptations of the IIa fibers and not the IIx fibers.. you see where i'm going with this.. the science freaks totally fubar their training by overanalyzing.

one of verkhoshansky's MAXIMAL STRENGTH methods, is mutliple sets of 10's.. that method would be an issue if it didn't result in strength/power gains, but it isn't an issue, it's fine for strength, power, and hypertropy/tendon adaptations.

pC

While this is all true, there is a flipside to this quantity over quality approach.
If we're talking long term health, I'd say this variant is at a slight disadvantage comparing it to repping 5 times (max) explosively and controlled.
I'm pretty sure at the end of your set, since all of your muscles are burned, you'll compensate quite a bit by using the tendons a lot more for stability and will be using muscles you don't want to be using (ie. the lower back) too much.
You can imagine, in the long run, this could cause some damage.

I personally wouldn't suggest Full squatting for max reps because of this reason, as example I'm pretty damn sure an athlete won't be able to make a decent, controlled descent at rep 25, he'll probably just plunge right in there and muscle his way up, using a lot of lower back to make up for the other muscles that have failed him at this point.

For limited ROM lifts this technique seems highly beneficial though.

Thoughts?

Aight mang, got me all hyped up, finish up already!

Last shot at that song, you said you slowed it down?
What song did you slow down, cause it can't be THIS one.

GET IT MANG
Pce.

EDIT:

WTF. I just watched the first dunk of that new vid, had to pauze and play like three times mang DAMN!
brb getting amp'd

edit 2

WOOOOOOOOOO
