doesn't depend at all and doesn't matter at all. get strong at one or both and jump a lot.

look at your 160kg deadlift... your flexibility/mobility is terrible!

as far as i know muscle fiber activation is always the same. doesn't matter how heavy the load, it'll always be slow first and then fast fibers.

really? i don't think so...

I think most people take the daily "MAX" too literally where they try to lift a maximum weight every day instead of just going for a weight that is hard but far from a grinder. In Raptors case this might range from 100-150kg.
I made that mistake and didn't progress in terms of weight lifted/strength (but my form, technique & flexibility improved).

Here's a good interview with Max Aita (California Strength) where he talks about squatting daily and other stuff.

Here's a good interview with Max Aita (California Strength) where he talks about squatting daily and other stuff.
What if I want to stop squatting for a while? How to maintain that strength without going to the gym (and paying a lot of money)?How about some pistols & king deadlifts and perhaps some max effort isometrics with short duration?
I'd like to stop squatting for a month or two, just to give my body some recovery time, I feel like I need it, my shoulders hurt immensly, sometimes I can't even raise my arms properly because of the accumulated pain from low bar squatting and the pressure it puts on my arms, and just in general - I need to recover for a while and not squat at all.
My thinking is use some KB swings and focus on the core more (since I suck so hard at it anyway) and play ball, maybe do some plyos if anything.
