they can do it because they're sauced to the gills and are pretty much idiots with good genetics that just touch weights and grow. They're also hella short. Easy to build mass with any means when your limbs are of midget status. Not hating here, just stating the fact.

And yes, that video of Branch hitting 14 or so reps with 405 on incline is obsenly fast. I was watching for a pec tear with each and every rep.

by training faster, you can use more weight, which will in turn build more strength and mass.

training like that also works the type 1 fibers better, which are for speed and strength.

ever see an olympic lifter train?

sean · « **Reply #5 on:** September 05, 2006, 01:43:16 PM »

sure, with full body movements. Not on those more isolated movements like presses on a bench of any kind. But sure, if you body can handle it... What about "time under tension" for hypertrophy?

alexxx · « **Reply #6 on:** September 05, 2006, 02:45:23 PM »

Here is something you could try:

-load the bench press bar with the maximum weight it can handle

-get underneath

-get 5 guys to spot it of

-let it drop

Come back to me with the results.

force = mass * velocity
it makes sense to rep as fast as you can, without letting momentum take over or injuring urself.
i don't believe slow repping has done shat for me over the years.

I rep pretty fast too at times. never really thought about it too much.

I have nothing against lifting explosively but if you ever saw JOJ do barbell curls with 225 you would agree that the line between working the muscle and cheating your way through the entire movement has been crossed. However I will say that it doesn't seem to hurt his development.

that moron claims he can curl 245 for 8-10, hahahahaha, even Bill Kazmaier couldn't do that and Bill makes JOJ look like an underfed Brad Pitt.

Is it THAT sloppy?

He does this in his Next Level DVD, someone on here probably has a clip. Let's put it this way, if you grabbed a barbell with the same grip you would normally use for curls, and then proceeded to do a hang clean, you would pretty much mimick Johnnie's form.

i'm sure bill could do that.

years ago, i read about lee priest saying his best curl was a few reps with 315.

Ive tried to apply that same speed and intensity to my own personal training, and have really noticed the benefits. If youve ever seen the battle for the olympia video 05, branch and johnnie kill off a thourough chest workout in about 30 mins. They still manage to use strict form too!

he didn't lock out a single rep and the way he's arched that's more like a flat bench, horrible form
