Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High frequency squat time approaching
« on: March 24, 2011, 07:42:45 am »
OK, so I'm starting a high frequency squat thing beginning next week. I'll do a few sets of squats every day in the morning. I'd also like to do some unilateral stuff because I feel like it might help my one-leg jump.
I was wondering, what would you choose for that? I'm thinking I'd like a high specificity exercise for it, like a lunge or step-up. A deep lunge is less specific but it targets the muscles better, while a step-up is more specific.
I'm basically planning to do 2 sets of half squats, lunges and calf raises and call it a day (call it a morning actually). 1 warm-up set, 1 work set to failure, like adarqui said, with 60-70%, focusing on being maximally explosive on each rep.
This in the morning. At evening/night I'll go and do my 3x5 full squats and some calf raises again + planks and that's it (this two times per week vs. the everyday stuff I'll do in the morning).
It will be interesting to see what kind of effect this has on my squat/vert etc.
PS. Probably BSS is a better choice as unilateral training.
