Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Eccentric-less Training
« on: December 20, 2010, 04:32:50 am »That makes me think of construction workers and their muscles. They basically lift things every day, have a pretty big "rest" time in between "reps" and they are BIG.
besides the fact that they get in significant isometric, concentric, and eccentric training per day, their diet is usually very adequate in calories, as many of them drink a good amount of beer and eat a good amount of "junk". There's not many "vege" construction workers, or ectomorphs for that matter, those people are usually pretty tough (meso, which the job pretty much requires) and eat big.
It's the same reason you don't usually see NFL types in the nba, the nature of the "job" dictates who works there.

Yeah exactly. That's why o-lifters are short as well. They're not short because they haven't grown anymore since they lift a lot and all that crap, but they are short because that body structure is efficient for that sport and short o-lifters are better than tall o-lifters so you see more short o-lifters at the elite levels since they are advantaged.
And I liked that astronaut example a lot. I was preparing to reply with that but you took it before me.

« on: December 20, 2010, 03:42:12 am »You should try a detox sometime. Maybe it'll help you drop weight. Some years ago my brother did some sort of one week detox. He didn't particularly enjoy it and the day he started eating hardy meals again he threw up a couple times, but it worked for him. At first he lost some weight, but afterward he packed on muscle faster than he had before. He's actually about 5 lbs. lighter than me. I have way too much leg muscle over him for his upper body to keep up with my weight, but before he moved out of the house he was over 160 I think, but he was ripped and still maintained super low bodyfat.
What's that all about? What do you do?

I'm down with that and I agree, it will improve movement efficiency a lot but once that's up to it's "maximum level" if you will... you're only going to be limited by your strength so...

I WANT an Adarqui squatflex ad. You know, saying how he did his first dunked after using squatflex (I'm sure you'll find a way to... use it). That'd be great.

Yeah I know this guy and he worked hard during the years. He also has some nice exercises and things he does.
What I would REALLY like is to get in touch again with Joel Smith and make him join this forum.

Locking the knees is a natural human movement.

Thanks and yeah, that was like totally unexpected. I mean, I was wavering if I could do one rep, thinking about if I need to drop the bar and all that. Guess it's going to happen again when I try the 140, although I'm very confident I can do it.
