all this negative forced reps triggering gowth is all bullshit
Obviously no one was going to choose to train with someone following this program because even if they used light weights like 225 for squats, you would be worn out from hauling them up after each negative. You could only do this by roping unsuspecting people in for your spots. I can only imagine it went like :
hey man, you give me a spot for a second?Random Guy : yeah man
*you do 6 reps*
Random Guy : good set
whoa hang on, gonna do the negativesRandom Guy : ok
*completes one negative*
Random Guy : alright man good work. (starts to help you rack the weight)
No wait I gotta get 5 more negativesRandom Guy : (thinking - da fuq?)
*5 more negatives are done*
Random Guy : damn you train hard way to go
hang on, it's a drop set. take off half the weightRandom Guy : umm... dude
five more yeah baby... light weightRandom Guy : if you say so
**5 more reps done**
*gasping* ok hang on... now need to get 5 negatives in againRandom Guy (cursing in his head)
** negatives are done **
hey man, thanks really appreciate it? Let me rest and you spot me againRandom Guy *grabs his gym bag, and escapes out the door.*
