The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
However, if you're trying to get faster, more explosive and generate more speed and jumping power, throwing power things of that sort, you never really want to use a weight or get to a portion of the set where you're moving the bar very, very slowly.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And so what this would involve is something like 60% to 75% of a one-repetition maximum, and then in a controlled way moving that as quickly as one can throughout the entire set. And certainly not going to failure because as you approach failure, the inability to move the weight with good form, the weight inevitably slows down.
And there is evidence that at least some training needs to be done, quote unquote, explosively, so, moving weights quickly or, when I say "weights," doing resistance quickly to generate maximal power.
