Wow. very interesting new article by Chad Waterbury

[olinerules87]

Chad Waterbury just wrote a new article over a t-nation.com that to say the least is confusing and interesting and controversial. His new theory (yes supported by lots of evidence) is that the best way to train is to lift as fast as possible and stop when your speed begin slowing down. He has only introduced this subject and not gone into making an actual program or setting out guidelines but this article is definetly worth reading. go look at it

Think of it this way:
When you are training for pure speed do you run until you can't run anymore? No, running until you can't run anymore would be endurance. If you wanted to train for pure speed (not speed endurance) you would run sprints until you were no longer running at full speed and then quit.

If this is the way sprinters train for pure speed (high force and stopping when they begin to slow down)why would this training technique not work the same when lifting.

I didnt say it wouldnt work, just a bit different. It probably will work very well. Cant wait to see the results people get from it.

yeah. we need to learn more about this though he didn't go deep enough into it for us to start using this style of training. very interesting

Thanks. I am going to read it after I finish a few things.

so does this mean we should quit the set right when the speed slows down?
