I suppose the casual trainers such as myself who are pressed for time like to make excuses for not doing a huge number of variants of the lifts/accessory exercises. We invoke the "economy of training" argument, which is the antithesis of hardcore.
To add to that, reduced flexibility to me, means that a muscle is weak, it's a protective response.
All this "power" talk is nonsense, increase the strength of a muscle and you inturn increase its power and torque.
Best way to move 100kg quickly?
Get strong enough to move 200kg
In b4 oni floods thread with articles and blogs supporting his viewpoint.
For what its worth fadi your logic is probably wasted on oni
I already argued this shit to death so just read what I posted elsewhere
Why?
I also think that if someone lifts in the olympics, you should sit the fuck down and listen to what they have to say about how they train, regardless of whether or not someone else lifts more than them. You can only have the "correct" way to train if you win the Olympics? Nigga please
I argued that max effort work has it's place in the training of the olympic lifts and despite what fadi says, lots of successful lifters regularly perform max effort (non-competition) lifts in their training in the form of push pressing, "deadlifting" (you obviously need to keep the same form as a clean or snatch pull so deadlift isn't the right term as the technique is different) and squatting. The Chinese and Peruvians will often do max effort pulls in training and if it works for them, it gets my a-peru-val as it must be a-llama-lingly good etc
