27 slrvj? up yo game!
A couple nights ago I had a dream where I was talking with Mark Sisson* on the beach. He was wearing board shorts. He kept saying the dumbest shit, just repeating his spiel over and over, and I was just cracking up, asking him if he knew how dumb he sounded and how little sense he was making. He had this kind of perplexed look on his face the whole time but he never stopped talking, even as I was doubled over laughing right in front of him. It got to the point where I couldn't even breathe in and then I woke up.
*This guy: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/
he works out 7 days a week for 30 minutes, and sometimes 10 minutes.
!!!
Nothing could be more paleo than that, bro. Mark Sisson is a prophet.
Good stuff! I guess the paused reps really strengthen the sticking point and thus can help to bust plateaus. Another option would be to begin and initiate the movement at the sticking point. For example if a trainee has problems with the parallel position in a squat he would set the pins low at that position, get under the bar and try to push up from that weak position. For squats this method might be better than the paused reps since breathing with a heavy load on the back is probably not the best thing to do.
But I can really imagine this method to be very effective for the bench press and press, especially in combination with what Lance said about using the rebound after the pause.
I've had lot of success with pin squats in terms of power for vert, they seemed to keep me feeling a bit healthier too, the nice momentary deload at the bottom feels good, and allows you to reposition yourself.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bADPG0N7ZbA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bADPG0N7ZbA</a>
Worlds strongest man deadlifting 945lbs like its nothing.
i felt ok, but the vert was nothing to write home about haha.
was jumping in my gym shoes, some nike frees, so it affected my plant abit. i think i gotta show u guys some film or something, i think the plant or runup needs some tweaking, i have a feeling its kinda a sticking point now...
the first set of the squats felt tough.

what's up with the hip? so many people getting hip pain from squatting deep, blah!
Thanks man!
I don't know whats wrong with it , i mentioned it long time ago.
It seems pretty similar to Spike's thing , also yours from last year
3'' above felt nice though , gonna keep it like that and see how it goes...
