i think just about everything chad writes up is worth giving a try. hes a smart guy with a lot of experiance.
i read his articles on ABBH, TBT, ABBH2, POWERFUL 10X3, and THE WATERBURY ROUTINE.
i did abbh, and powerful 10x3. both difficult, yet fun in their own ways. simple to understand. got pretty good results. im thinkin about doing the waterbury routine some day. just after i give bill star's linear 5x5 a try
yeah, have read it. Good article, the nervous system and training isent new, but the thing he said about terminating the set when speed slows is new to me. Though, back when i ran an oly lifting program, i did. I did tripples at like 80 and 85%, which is a percentage i can squeeze out way more than 3 reps from. All the reps were equally fast, and my squat has never gone up that much ever.
So i kind of did what he implies, without thinking it over.
Link to article? Chad Waterbury is generally a pretty good person to take advice from. But Jman, I remember when you were using his method and weren't too impressed.
I thought it was pretty interesting, myself. Chad Waterbury, along with John Beradi and many others, are among my favorite writers. It makes since logically. I just can't wait for more information on it.
but would it really be practical to follow his advice and terminate EVERY set once the speed gets slow on EVERY training method you use if your goals are to get bigger and stronger? seems very controversial.
I like the sound of it, it definately has good reasoning behind it. I'll be waiting for a bit more research to be done before I start thinking about adopting this though
Some of these trainers do like coming up with absolute rubbish, which neither helps nor hinders your training in an average scenario. However, for some reason people think it's all great, and so the reputation goes through the roof.
i think he has something and that there is a chance that it could lead to a breakthrough. but im not going to believe everything i read until there is more support going into his claims.
