Haha, I didn't do that now... that was some time ago (a year or so). My back is fucked because of the Smith Machine and me doing calf raises on that.

Well if I take me as an example, when I used to do unracks it was just my entire core "shaking" and feeling this "twisting" thing going on... like my spine was totally unstable and under the possibility of a little twist. You don't need me to tell you how dangerous that is. But if that's not the case for you, then...

Meaning, you're not actually squatting etc. If you were, you were limited by the ROM, TUT, fatigue, leg strength in disadvantageous positions etc to "help" you prevent using too much. But here, you're only limited by "back strength" but if that fails... there's a much lower threshold for error.

So what you're actually trying to say is "Get fat, play "ball" and be happy. You're going to be a superstar". I think I've heard this somewhere else before...

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Being heavier does not give "better leverages" in lifting

I think they mean to "have a bigger belly". They (the powerlifters) say a bigger belly means a bigger "base" for the squat to be executed.

my motto is, if you need a belt, you shouldn't be lifting it..
Mine's too, but you're not actually "lifting". No need for extra danger.

My approach speed increases at lower rims, because at higher rims I have the tendency to take an even longer last step and go slower so I have more time to apply force, but this is while using an one-leg jump. Not sure what kind of jumping you use.
But on lower rims I can go quicker since the rim is lower and my approach becomes better.

« on: April 20, 2011, 06:17:37 am »i like the idea of moving the unracking pins down gradually over time.. not crazy low but enough to get some extra work in at slightly deeper rom.. did that tonight, was good.
Me too, you could even hold it one inch above pin height and do some sort of an iso.
