Title: High reps for "elasticity"?
Post by: Raptor on February 09, 2011, 05:02:48 pm

I just have a theory, based on nothing than just plain good-ol' right side of the brain intuition, that high rep work helps elasticity. I just can't really explain why, but I feel like high rep lunges or high rep squats (say 20-50 reps per set) help elasticity (elasticity as gains during reactive movements like running one-leg jumps or running two-footed jumps). What do you think?

ive heard bits and pieces of theories like this too.  Something why some people think the high rep jumping (jump rope, Air alert) may have more to them than meets the eye.
