Comments in the post below are engaging and stimulating. I feel that a vital "something" is missing, while not claiming to know what that vital "something" is....
... Ya know, one of the things I like about HIT is that I don't really have the time for other ideas. If this is true, and I ever reach that point, I think...
... I actually agree with much of what you're saying - except that stuff about "the key to knowing is yourself" - as an analytic guy, it sounds like you're...
Seth, yes 3% is of that origin, it is well established in "western powerlifting periodization" plans. Highest intensity I trained for relatively large number...
< It's always stated that 6-12 reps is better for size, and 1RM seem to build neural strength better. I've never seen evidence of size building with performing...
I don't in the slighest have a bone to pick with science. Instead, I'm merely suggesting extending the boundaries of science in order that all bases be...

... is ... are ... Have you ever thought about the drop in performance in relation to supercompensation following the drop, and the optimum time to rest to ...
... Hello again John, Well, Oliva says otherwise and goes so far as to express regret over not having stayed with Arthur. ... That is what *you* say, based on...
That is the part I was thinking, the volume is necessary, volume is the accumulation of fatigue. It is why reps done in a row have more effect than reps done...
Very interesting information :-) So you are saying that a muscle recovers with in 24 hours then? And that it's the nerves that take longer if one trains with...
... to ... Yes, I understand it, it is the simplest method for manipulation of that curve, but not only one. Other possibility is to minimize stimulus (and...
Here are some studies related to this... ... Myofibrillar disruption following acute concentric and eccentric resistance exercise in strength-trained men. ...
In line with the posts on fatigue being a stimulus, since we were discussing the speed that muscle fibers can recover and be trained again, here is a study...
Fiber recovery time should be limitation for frequency only if you have reason to believe that you should wait they are recovered completely before stimulating...
... There is also the possibility though, that if one does not train hard enough, that some MU"s will not be taxed suffenciently or even recruited. This could...
... Most people don't equate "intensity" and "fatigue", so claiming to isolate fatigue by varying intensity seems wrong. (You aren't isolating fatigue from...
"Fiber recovery time should be limitation for frequency only if you have reason to believe that you should wait they are recovered completely before...
< Given the results of second bout studies, ( that an extra "bout" of exercise performed before recovery was complete) did not cause any more damage, OR affect...
... That's true, one point I wanted to make on this, to train to really high fatigue, one will experience intensity defined the "hit" way, ie intense mental...
... Well I do correlate intensity and fatigue, and perhaps I'm wrong to do this. Since Ron has identified two types of fatigue and I believe someone else...
... (I'm still at it, lifting lighter again but working my way back up.) My joints are just fine, no ill effects that I can observe from the "constant wear"....
... How many astronauts came down from orbit bigger and stronger? ... Those have force, often quite a lot; it's just balanced by other forces. (Consider...
... For a given total impact (change in momentum), shorter requires more force (since force * time is preserved). However, that wasn't my point. ... There,...
... Really? How many champion weightlifters (powerlifting, Olympic lifting, strong-man events, whatever you like) used primarily slow training? I'm not aware...
In a message dated 12/4/2003 12:22:44 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I did not. Personally, I like to lift as fast as possible, and use enough weight that this...
... You identify it in 8 lifters. 8/26 = .3076923, which you round to 30.7% rather than giving a ridiculous number of decimal places (which somebody would...
... These champion types do not apply to your average person. This has been stated over, and over, and over again. Besides if improper lifting worked for...
