i've never done it.. but it makes alot of sense.. i would areg the time it takes to do the set - from the moment you begin the first eccentric right to when you end the last concentric.. areg'n the speed of the set would be pretty effective, but i doubt you would get passed 5 sets with a heavy enough weight (say a true 8RM).. you would just have to make sure your rest is adequate, it probably would need to be a little longer than normal hypertrophy training rest periods.

if you could get passed 5 sets with your true 8RM that would be pretty impressive GPP.

Yeah man I hear ya. That damn safety bar tore up my back bigtime.

in a good way or bad way?

today it actually felt a bit better.. my abs/back are feeling stronger already.. but it definitely still hits them much harder than a low bar regular squat.. abs especially.. abs get wrecked on lunges/squat with safety squat bar.. it's funny, i cant even go above parallel with the SSBAR or i feel like im about to cave in / torso break in half..

my shoulder has already started feeling better too.. putting my hands in that position just kept aggrivating it.

Why are you having to use that safety squat bar man? I hate those things they kill my back!

my right shoulder has been bugging alot during back squats.. i bugged it a few months ago somehow..

so im trying out SSBar.. my shoulders feel fine.. i bought that bar for that exact issue, for the baseball guys i was training.. jamie mcowen's 355 ATG x 5 singles looks alot more impressive to me now that im implementing it.. i mean there's a hugeeeee difference in how hard ssbar feels compared to regular.

im going real deep too so it should be interesting.. it kills my back and abs..

peace!

legs were jello all day today.. jumped real bad at night..

safety squat bar ATG: 15 singles with 165
- man... safety squat bar is ridiculous.. i can lunge with it fine, but for squatting it just kills my abs/core.. the singles with 165 were hard as hell.. i had to do them ATG, cant do them above parallel with the SSBAR or my abs/back get wrecked.

pullups/pushups

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

sup..

the only way i've calculated drop offs, with depth drops, is just to look at the quality of the drop.

for example, say you're doing sets of 5 from a 36" box:
- first set: felt great
- second set: felt great
- third set: felt great
- fourth set: felt a little worse
- fifth set: same as fourth, but on rep three, your legs just turned into jello <-- too much drop off

you would want to stop before you get to that jello-legs-collapsed-state... so I would stop after the fourth set in this example.

with depth drops, it's all about "feel".. unless you have some crazy cameras or stabilization force plate or something..


if you're doing a rotation, then depth drops will definitely be affecting everything.. so if you're doing sets of 5 on depth drops, followed by 2 10 yard sprints, you know that when you drop off on 10 yard sprints, the depth drops have fried your system.


peace man
