Supertraining?

[finfan]

I wanted to know if the book supertraining is worth the 50$ or should I get something else for Easter? (sports training related)

Ya it is a good book worth buying, may be able to find it cheaper used.

Ya it is advanced, but if you can understand 1/4 of what comes out of Louie Simmons mouth, then you can understand that book...lol. If you don't understand the theories behind physics and lifting, speed-strength,etc., you may be a little lost.. but hey, you can always do a search on the net for parts you don't understand.

That is surprising. I remember the first time I heard him talk about band training in the acceleration eccentric phase, and I just sat there with the biggest confused look on my face. I had no clue what the **** he was talking about. This is also before I knew anyone even used bands. For most people it's hard to understand a lot of what he is talking about. I still have to look up some of the things he talks about from time to time.

ya ive learned a lot from defrancos super strength dvd and reading on the intraweb


if im not mistaken--the bands pull the bar down, and your body overcompensates and gives extra power to get the bar back up



i think that was what he was talking about a lot

(i watched it last night)

so the super strength DVD taught you a lot? What does it go over in the movie?

it didnt teach me too much, but i got it off ebay for 8 bucks so it was worth it


he goes over the westside basics, me, re, and de

then he shows all the me, re, and de exercises they use
some posterior chain exercieses, some unsusual exercises

i think its about 2 hours


pretty good, i dont know how much he sells it for though

The VJB actually has the same structure but the info is really different.

question on the bench for that guys vid ( looked through the other 1's and found the me bench day) they have bands that are reversed so it makes it heavier at the top and lighter at the bottom. i thought that u were supposed to put that bands so it pulls the weight down to make it heavier at the top like the squat?

There are a lot of reasons why they set it up like that... post injuries, increase the sticking points, mimic the bench shirt, have the lifter become used to the weight,etc..

but which would be better? would it be pointless to use bands for bench if i made them so it was the way they were on squats? ( make it so it lowers the weight fast)
