If you are trying to get big for sport and performance then the longer rests will be more applicable because you will be able to maintain a greater force production.  if you want more conditioning do your workout in a circuit fashion or alternating  so it could be:

Alex,

Thanks for your response! That makes sense to use the prime method to increase volume, but wouldnt the long rest periods decrease hormonal effects?

Actually, this is off topic but this lead me to another question...HGH and T are highest with rest periods between 30-60sec. now does this mean 30-60 sec rest between sets for the same muscle group or could this apply to 30-60sec rest between sets for diff muscle groups. in other words, to get a hormonal response, do you have to do 3 sets of squats with 30sec rest between, or can you do a set of squats rest 30sec do a set of bench rest 30sec do a set of pullups rest 30 and come back to squats to get the same hormonal response?

Hopefully this question makes sense LOL

i can't find the interview on the blog...did it get deleted?

I've actually never performed DD's or DJ's before. Tomorrow is my first time. I tested my standing CMJ and my depth jump from 12" and my CMJ was higher! LOL I already knew I had a deficiency regarding force absorption just by the way i feel when playing bball. I just wanted some quantitative data to truly know. Hoping this amort stuff will help! Planning on doing DD's from 18" this week and coupling with a vertical jump (so no, not crazy intense). I think i remember reading somewhere that i should be able to depth drop a height equal to my CMJ...is that true? Starting from 27-28" seems to high for a beginner.

Hey guys,

This might be specific to adaq but..

I was wondering how you would go about calculating fatigue levels during depth drops (or other amortization drills) via the drop off method? Thanks
