1. No
2. I'm not a bodybuilder. Maybe forced squats are easy because you're only doing half the work if that. If you can explain how doing forced reps would be more beneficial then using chains or weight releasers I'm all ears. Maybe you can convert
me.
3. Bodybuilding is not a sport. Once you've reached the failure point and you are no longer able to complete the lift yourself and you're depending on a spotter to do the work for you it is fucking dangerous. I'm no newbie. Serious lifters tend to take a more scientific approach then bodybuilders.
Yippikayee! Yet another self made specialist who are willing to wipe down to toilet everything what we know about bodybuilding, including all the theories which are proven again and again in practice. Hallelujah. Just one question for your superhuman mind: Why are you talking your power lifter shit in bodybuilding forum, answering to question concerning about widely known bodybuilding technique?
Have you difficulties to separate these two ports from each other? I give a hint: Bodybuilding is all about muscle size, symmetry and things like that. Power lifting is all about how fucking much you can lift in three separate lifts. More than that, you have made quite clear that you don't even know what forced rep means, and I am sorry to say that your not first power lifter with same handicap. If you are a true lifter, you will know guys like Ano Turtiainen. When I was lifting in his gym when it was placed in Helsinki, I used to spot for his bench press lot of times. How to do it is simple. You don't do just about anything, just put your fingertips under the bar and apply just enough extra lift that movement doesn't stop. When he is done, you ask one more, and after that, one more. You let him stop only when he has done couple of reps beyond his failure point. It is just same with squat, but instead of lifting at the barbell, you apply your extra lift by lifting him by your hands on his sides or you can use the technique from that video- clip. You don't have to use any force, he do it just about by himself, you just help him maintain the momentum. Of course, if he has calculated his strengths poorly and he meet his failure point too soon, you have to be ready to take the control of that weight. Anyway, the routine is just that simple, but there is great number of lifter who cannot do it right. Fact is that it is very useful and effective technique regardless what some wannabe- power lifter may think about it. Finally, here is something to you to think about. There is more than 300 exercises which you must know if you want to build a perfect body. More than 300, and power lifters use less than 50. Which sport is more demanding? Don't get me wrong, I have medals from both sports, and I highly appreciate power lifting as a sport. I just appreciate bodybuilding much more.
