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

Anyone who has attended a powerlifting meet knows that most of the time
the bar moves slowly. Yet many powerlifters spend part of their time
training the squat and bench explosively (lifting about half their 1 RM
as explosively as possible). To learn more about explosive lifting for
powerlifting read the work of Louie Simmons and Dave Tate.

While HIT has been popular with athletes in the past(any type of
strength training is better than no strength training), it's primary
focus is building muscle mass not increasing athletic performance.
Most of HIT famous spokesmen were bodybuilders not athletes. Limit
yourself to just one training dogma and you will limit your results.
Everything (even superslow) has its time and its place. It's not about
what's best, but what is most appropiate at the time.
