go to 4.40, can anyone work out what weight he is pushing
Howdy again.
I think you all have misunderstood what I was trying to get at.
I have just started a Powerlifting programme and I am not wanting to waste days doing things that will not make me stronger. In particular the XPLOSIVE or DYNAMIC day.
I just used OLY lifters as an example of a FAST TWITCH sport, in that I read the XPLOSIVE training is needed as part of a POWER LIFTING programme as it activates more fast twitch fibers which increase power, therefore strength.
I was wanting confirmation of my interpretation of that as being correct.
and that's why I made sense to me, in that The top OLY lifters though they may only train chest once a year, can generally flat bench extremely heavy weights. All being down to fast twitch and the XPLOSIVE nature of the way they train.
Yet other people are saying just lift heavy and dynamic days are a waste, I am confused as hell.
That's all.
If you can press 1.5-2 x body weight overhead you will be strong in all movements.
As for oly lifters benching 200 that is a broad and sweeping statement plenty of the big guys may be able to but will the 66kg guys be able to? Not fucking likely.
OK Yes that may have been a generalised statement on my behalf, but the ones I know of http://web.stagram.com/n/misslifty/ Bench 200, the whole reason was apart from the BIG names of the sport, I know of a guy (OLY lifter) who does not bench much if at all and weighs I dare say 90kg and benches 200, thats what got me thinking about the Xplosive movement and being strong in other areas where you are not specialised and is that the reason why the SPEED/DYNAMIC day was in the routines for Powerlifting.

vonframm, did you actually do proper Olympic lifting training.
I jerked 137.5kg off a rack when pressing behind neck 87.5kg at 80-81kg bw, but I dont think I had much talent. I just practised it for a few years.
You may have surprised yourself with more specific training.
The use of "explosive" type training, I believe is not going to increase that genetically pre-determined ratio of FTF or strength of the muscles involved.
if we were "born" with a ratio, then why would sport specific training be so vital to success?
this genetics myth has to stop, you can change your twitch fibre ratio, with time and specific training/lifestyle.
