Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: abandon the back squat, and move to front squat!
« on: March 04, 2013, 04:21:57 pm »Interesting, is this more of a explosive oriented routine? Toteach explosiveness at the specific joint angle and to be followed with a squat routine? For example, I'm on 5/3/1 for my main strength work of full squat, and this looks like it could be done afterwards for the assistance work. Here's what I did today, before I read your reply. I did 5/3/1 for strength in full squat, then went down to 195lbs(started light) and tried half squats for some high rep myo reps.. It went down like this
195lbs x 15, 4,4,4,5,5 .. Then some single leg hip thrusts.... My form didn't break down as much since I started light.. I might try your recommendation on a separate workout in between my two squatting days.
yes. do not abuse the supra max. it will work until it starts breaking you apart.
it's in my log somewhere - IIRC, last time i did the 1/2 squats, i will full squat up to 405. then supra max 1-2 singles using 425,455,475,495 up to 515s. so there, up to 130%RM.
build up first and don't go very heavy too early. i suggest switching after 8-12 weeks if you are still not broken at that point.
all these rep/set/weight came from lance. i didn't make it up.
