Eric, what do you mean stored energy? In what form? I can only assume that you are talking about the stretch reflex similair to what we get in the squat.

I was wondering about you guys personal experiences with this. Is it possible to bring up all 3 lifts at once? From my personal experience Id say no. I have had times where my bench has really gone up but my deadlift and squat have stayed the same. Lately my squat has been going way up but my bench is stallin...

Congrats to Team RTS and the other recent competitors from the board! There were a lot of contests recently and all in all, we fared pretty well: Chad McMullin smoked a 35# PR that was only about a month old (Benched 535). This was a big deal for him, too! Tony Reid was disappointed, but when you look at it...

What height is preferable for the rack deadlifts? Ive been working at just below knees to strengthen my weak point, but would a shorter range of motion be better so I can overload the deadlift with a greater weight than normal? Thanks for your time

Chris Baker · Chris Baker

So using volume and intensity blocks, would you alter the rep numbers or is it just a question of whether you use fatigue drops, to determine the if its a volume block or intensity? If this is covered in the manual, please forgive my ignorance as I am still waiting for delivery. -- Edited by Chris Baker on...
