for example, say you squat 2xBW in 2s, well, if you become squat-obsessed and end up squatting 2.5xBW in 5-6 seconds, those gains in maximal strength past 2x probably won't transfer well to explosive movements

Agreed. However, consider this possibility:

Athlete A:

Squats 2.0xbw in 2s

Three months later

Squats 2.5xbw in 4s
Squats 2.0xbw in 1.75s

I think going from a 2xbw squat to a 2.5xbw squat is more effective in increasing the amount of time it takes to squat 2xbw (in terms of how long the rep takes) versus incorporating RFD work and not increasing to a 2.5xbw squat.
Not only that, but the RFD work may fade away over time once you switch to more strength oriented work, and you wouldn't be able to keep up with that 2xbw squatting speed.

I prefer strength work over RFD work pretty much all the time. Plyos, on the other hand, are a bit of a different story imo (yes I know they increase RFD as well).

I trust this article a bit more than the others because there's no product placement in it. Read up, sounds interesting and plausible.

I used to love t-nation for their NO BULLSHIT attitude in their articles and it was a great source of information for putting on muscle. However, I can't stand how everyone there thinks if you're less than 200lbs at 6'0 YOU'RE A PUSSY. And that you need to gain more weight... for what? I asked a question about why the hell my left pec is so much bigger than my right and posted a pic, and the first comment I got was "go eat 5 steaks a day for a year and come back."

And it's not just the forum anymore, but I can't stand their whole Biotest bullshit, they market that thing like crazy. Like they find out some important breakthrough shit about nutrition and hey, whaddya know, this biotest product has had exactly that for 2 years now!

And the anaconda protocol? Are you fucking serious?

I think within 7 months you can be at a 2.5x bw squat. That's this summer man. Crazy.

HAHAHA "if you want nudes."

Well in pretty much any kind of unilateral lowerbody movement you aren't truly using 0% of the non-trained leg... your other leg pushes off on the step up, stabalizes and even pushes a little on a lunge and bulgarian split squat... etc

But about the leg press, that does seem to isolate one leg. Can anyone find any reason why your legs will push more independently? What's the science behind that? The only thing I can think of is that maybe your leg is better positioned for producing/transferring force in the position you're in during a unilateral lift. Also, I forgot where, but I read a study where they proved that the "greater neural whatever" is not higher in a unilateral movement than bilateral. To clarify, it's not true that your right leg has more neural activity during a one legged squat on the right leg verses a two legged squat, even though you're more focused on that leg.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but what do you guys think about BuyBulkWhey.com?
