You're right. accomodating resistance. I do think however, it would work well for even for someone fairly new to strength training.

Have you tried progressive resistance? This is popular among powerlifters and is effective for increasing strength.

Typically, to do accomplish this, jump stretch bands are stretched around the...

This is a great topic. Lets start from the beginning. Training for strength, and training for muscle size should be approached seperately. Since we are talking about gaining strength and not...

Great lifting. On your last deadlift it looked like you did not lock out completely. your knee still looked a little bent. Be sure and lock out and hold as straight as possible and you should be fine...

I would attempt to make your lifting workout as similar as what you would encounter on the field.

If a typical down requires you to use your leg drive for 30 or more seconds I would do squats for...

This could be anything. Try switching hands on your over under grip. In other words try putting the hand the you put under over and the other under. Sometimes you pull the under hand grip side in...

I would also include ligaments(connective tissue that connects bone to bone) as well as tendons which connect muscle to bone.


There are two different methods I use to strengthen Tendons and...

Many great points. I have also noticed that with my weight gain the following:

When I weighed 170 and gained 10 lbs.(while training hard) it was almost all muscle.

When I weighed 240 and gained...

A little soreness is not a big problem. If you are having severe soreness after your workouts there are several things that can help.

1. Do a recuperative workout with the affected muscle where...

Try variations of the good morning to increase your back strength. Since your weak point is the top part of the good morning(not being able to stay tight with back arched), you do not need to do good...

Yes, you are rounding your lower back slightly when you first come off the floor. It looks like an easy fix though.

1. keep the bar closer to you at the start.
2. You are leaning over the bar...

I agree with Goju. It sounds like you need to strengthen your lower back before going to a single max effort. Do this by starting with maybe 6 months of sub maximal weights and high volume. a 5X5 is...

This is an interesting topic. I once used this machine to determine my pulling power in the deadlift. The machine had a small platform you stand on and a handle you pull on to mimick the deadlift.

This is a ludacris statement. It is like saying that only marathon runners are really running because they go the distance. those sprinters and medium distance runners are just cheaters.

This is easy, a 500 Raw bencher is one in a million, so there are 300 in the US currently, and maybe 6000 in the world. LOL

My point exactly! Powerlifting and any other strength sport the main concern is the concentric portion of a lift. for the vast majority of individuals eccentric strength is higher than concentric, so...

Why do negatives? I have never felt that negatives made me stronger. Has anyone here on the powerlifting forum gained concentric strength from negatives?

From the article "It is a tremendous exercise the (Vince Neck Press), but I bet you will cut your weight almost in half. Now you're lifting 100 pounds with one muscle instead of 200 pounds with six...

From the article. "I have never had any injuries. I have never torn anything. I have never injured ligaments or tendons."

Translated. I have never accomplished anything in Bodybuilding or any...

Here it is again. Fake videos. Everyone wants to be an E-Strongman.

1. No bar bending. when reversing any movement after the eccentric portion there is even with the strongest bars some bar...
