Repitition requirements

My apologies Andy if I inadvertently derailed your thread

No apologies required mate.

I wanted to get a feel for what people think when performing rep's

I really like the negative on push exercises...

Not so much on the pull exercises...

Squats don't mind the negative...

Deadlifts no negative at all.....

Pick something up
Put something overhead
Perform a deep knee bend.

That's all you need to know according to the Gospel of Kyle.

Close thread? (p

Kyle...as in Kyle Aaron? He now says to carry something heavy, too.

Oh.. His wisdom never ceases to amaze.

So farmers walks are a staple now?

 

[chocchillimango]

really depends on the specific goal, doesn't it?

I agree the negative part is hugely important but it's not the most important for everything.

If you're looking at developing fast twitch fibres vs slow twitch, manipulating ROM might end up being one of the most important things to consider too?

I dunno....you de expert Goosey

Digressing from Negative Overload training and going back to the eccentric portion of a normal rep... I think a lot of beginners focus more on what they can lift and how quickly (insert ego here), without realising the benefits the eccentric potion of the rep brings. Nor do they understand, or are rarely taught, how a controlled eccentric motion can contribute to muscle growth. And building on what CCM said, a slow, controlled eccentric ensures an even stretch across the entire muscle and it's associated ligaments and tendons, thus contributing to improved ROM in the long run.

yep, I always consider the functional aspect of the movement so agree totally. My coach is always harping on about it.

Theres the "Up" part..

...the "Down" part..

...but you're forgetting "MORE ENERGY"

Pretty much. That or traveling lunges. But remember, he's a personal trainer, with the primary goal of taking sedentary people and teaching them to use their bodies healthily and productively. Bodybuilding is a very peripheral issue to him. In the context of what he's trying to achieve with his clients, I think teaching people to squat, pick stuff up off the floor, put things overhead and carry stuff around, all as staples, makes perfect sense.

Range of movement...but now "My brain hurts".
