hooray for estats, and the largely faked ones too

You have two types of fast twitch muscle fibers, and each one is used in maxout efforts, low rep kind of thing.
Slow twitch is high rep range.

So pretty much, you're working your ST fibers, which...

Naw.
You're right, but for the wrong reasons.

Freeweights are better than machines for BB because they stimulate more muscle fibers throughout the entire muscle, not just also incorperating...

He weighs 150.
With a belly.

Hey I was asking so I could learn, not so I could try and give out more advice to a guy who's got it all figured out it seems.

So tell me more, how'd you get over it, just doing more squats?

Hrmm.

Shorter people lift more.
Any person educated about lifting can tell you that, my father who's 6 inches shorter than me pops out 500 pound squats for 3 reps.

Shorter limbs=better...

The purpose of a warmup is to get your muscles into ATP replenishing mode before hitting the weights, increases your performance and it's much safer, your ligaments are more flexible when warmed up,...

Was it a growth plateau or a performance plateau?

Oh aye mate.

At my 5'2 height, I have to calf raise it off and sometimes more than that before I can take the safety off. I hold my arms out in front of my, so I go down until my arms touch the...

Naw man.

If I were you, I'd start popping out the leg press before the quats, pre-exhust your quads and then do your squats for a few weeks, switch it up again and see how that works for you. Get...

Yeah, actually.
I don't get much of a burn from the jumping, just a tingly feeling at the bottom of my thighs and a sweaty back.
And 9 plates a side isn't much at all.. I see otehr guys in the gym...

Machines are an excellent choice for getting raw power for a specified muscle, there's nothing to worry about other than pushing or pulling, nothing like form or having the weight fall on you. Only...

Ha, that's kind of what I do.
I usually do 135 for 5-12 reps on my jump squats, depending on what I've done before I got there.
Il'l pop out 810 on 45degree leg press no prob... till about the 8th...

Squats give results, amazing results.
Unfortunatly, for the BB, I noticed that personally, squats are detrimental to my physique due to overdeveloping my core muscles, which I prefer to just...

Wtf is your problem, are you stupid?
Nevermind, I don't need an answer, it's been made apparent enough.
You take one thing I say and construe it to another level.

I made ONE statement concerning...

Oh aye, there were two powerlifters, they made a living off of breaking blocks with their heads, powerlifting was just a hobby.
The guy ran through 8 walls of brick.
Ouch.

I watched a show called, "Fight Science" a few months back.
These skinny asian guys were measured at a max strike of the equivalent of a 35 MPH one way automobile collision on impact.
Let that sink...

Boxing is hardly about punching hard at all, it's about punching at the right place at the right time.
You pit any deconditioned BB in the ring against a lightweight pro boxer, 10 seconds later...
