[Supertraining] Re: Productive Discussions-Explosive Exercise is pointless

Friday, 11 January 2008      0 comments

Well said Tom. I would add that if a powerlifter is attempting his/her max lift then how could the bar possibly move quickly? It cannot. But the individual trains to enhance that skill development in that specific skill, action or moment. I would argue that this is the premise of HIT training. At the end of a particular set when the individual is fatigued and going seems tough the coach or teammate encourages that individual to think "explosively." I do not recall the individual who coined the phrase "controlled chaos." Even Mike Mazzarato, professional body builder, stated "it is not the first two reps that count, but the last two."

A second thought on the HIT comment towards athletics... Why is it that over a dozen NFL teams and D1 college programs are still using it provided it is such a fallacy as described in this forum? When I first saw the comments on Siff/Mannie I thought it was funny people were still digging up this argument. What is Mannie in his 10th or 11th season at MSU? Clearly he is not having difficulty getting and keeping a job regardless of comments of this group!

Critical thinking... its a S.O.B.
