The eccentric on the 360 was very slow... I think that took a lot out of him... that was the first thing that made me think "he's not going to make it". Granted, I already saw the video title but still.

There's so much to write about what Avishek said... but long story short - if you lack in muscle mass and in the power that muscle mass would give you (improving your relative strength) then you need to squat deep because that's the best muscle builder. You don't squat deep for specificity purposes,  you're just building a bigger engine.

When you do that you're obviously masking any explosiveness you've gained through the squat induced fatigue. You don't need to be a genius to figure that out.

And when you stop squatting you're basically eliminating that squatting fatigue and then you say "wow I don't squat and look how powerful I am now!" when in fact you're powerful because of the gains you made with the squat in the past, that are now displaying without that fatigue.

And since you're not squatting you're obviously going to lose squatting movement efficiency and then you're going to say "my squat has gone lower yet look at how much more explosive I am now, so then it must mean squatting was bad for my power".

Just use your brain a bit.

Have you tried in the SVJ to get your arms back, not just "under" you? And if you get your arms back, try turning the thumbs towards the sky (internally rotate). Then try the SVJ again and see how it feels.

So at your max you were doing 64 reps (8 sets of 8 reps) per workout? wtf

I hope that sign in the back is true...

It's the Avishek deadlift, but he did it with a depth drop as well.

wouldn't mind a map or a legend to what's photographed there. Is that kingfisher's knee or muscles??

thats where a 40" SVJ comes from.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Respeck. If you ever wanna try your hand at internet coaching im putting my hands up as a keen volunteer. Would love to have VMO's like that, i didnt' even know such a muscle existed lol :P

That's more a function of Kingfish's awesome dorsiflexion ability.

In my opinion there isn't too much sense in doing calf raises for such low rep ranges... the ROM is very limited and the TUT is very short for each rep in the calf raise. Compare the TUT of a rep (in time) of squats vs the TUT of a rep of calf raises... there's no comparison.

That's why it's better to go with 15-20 reps. As far as TUT goes (total set time) - 15-20 reps of calf raises is similar to 5-8 reps of squats I guess.
