Haha yeah I think the point of a pause squat is to pause for at least 1s which would be visible on video. Maybe adjust for a longer pause next time.

every squat is a pause-squat.. i think you're failing to realize the absolute genius of it.

here are some paused squats:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoxMyMXckFk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoxMyMXckFk</a>

what you are doing in those IG vids is a good normal squat.

maxent · « **Reply #4374 on:** June 21, 2018, 04:00:46 am »

i didnt watch those videos but i dont think an exaggerated pause is by any means necessary for doing a pause squat. The notable thing is that you slow down the eccentric intentionally and for a brief moment reach close to zero speed then continue the rep - nb, this is a continuation of the eccentric bc that kick you see at the bottom is a downwards motion before the reversal occurs. The key thing to keep in mind is that the pause itself happens before the eccentric completes

lol @ "close to zero speed." what you are describing is a normal controlled squat. in your videos you are clearly still using the stretch-shortening cycle and any slowing on the eccentric is just slowing, not a pause. and that's fine! they're good squats! but calling them paused squats is flat-out inaccurate. at the end of the day it doesn't matter, it's just irritating. fwiw i intentionally posted videos with a short pause rather than an exaggerated pause.

like, the other day donald trump jr posted a video of himself half-squatting 300 pounds and claiming it as a squat PR. 300 pounds is a solid amount of weight for a middle-aged man to have on his back. good for him! but what he does with it is not a squat even if he says it is, or he meant to do one.

Notes:
That's got to be the hardest squat workout ive done in ages. Each rep was a struggle and they all sucked for technique. I also think my heart is acting up but im still waiting for my new oximeter. Edit, ok figured out how to get the HR sensor on my phone working. It read 78bpm. Phew. Maybe it's low blood pressure altho i measured 80/120 postworkout and that seemed normal enough. idk.

Last night i was reading about taurine depletion in the liver when using some drug and i thought hey those symptoms sound like what ive been experiencing (without using the drug obviously) and i took some taurine and i felt better. I wonder if that's all it's been..

Thought this was interesting:

The effect of acute and chronic exercise on steroid hormone fluctuations in young and middle-aged men.

Quote

The current study demonstrates that this training intervention may help increase steroids hormones in middle-aged men and counteract the negative effect of age on TT and free testosterone.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29378227

Sprint interval running increases insulin sensitivity in young healthy subjects.

Quote

In conclusion, sprint interval running improves insulin sensitivity and cholesterol profile in healthy subjects, and sprint interval running may be more effective to improve insulin sensitivity than continuous running at moderate intensity.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22540332

Remember todday mentioning this in my log ages ago. Would be interesting to get before and after T testing with sprint training. Defo wanna see what i can achieve while natural before i get too old.
