All stressing is not the same

For me, the issue is that when lifting heavy weights, even a slight bobble, or break in PERFECT form, can lead to serious injury.

ESPN960 tweeted something interesting yesterday, it was a quote from Criddle.

Why is a 550 pound squat a bad thing? It doesn't seem to have any

Indy Coug

5/25/16 9:28am

That squat number made that USU kid jump on his leg. Twice

Beggar

5/25/16 9:30am

I'd say thats 550 lbs (+ body weight) that is being balanced by the foot

Hank Rearden

5/25/16 9:31am

He was carrying a helmet and shoulder pads

Indy Coug

I've thrown my back out with a hardy sneeze.

Hank Rearden

5/25/16 9:34am

I should add that it's the same back that I injured doing squats

Hank Rearden

5/25/16 9:55am

It makes sense to me that stressing the body can lead to an injury down the road

gwalker

stressing the body is TOTALLY necessary to make the body stronger.

True, however, Zumba is more statistically risky than barbell training

AFcoogPT

5/25/16 8:20pm

Yeah, thats why I mentioned heavy weights

Hank Rearden

5/25/16 8:29pm

Agreed. 1RM at age 16 is not needed. Good coaching and programming is a must.

AFcoogPT

Don't forget the football.

gwalker

5/25/16 10:06am

Well, obviously it did.

Diablo and Doc

5/25/16 9:33am

Do you have any proof to suggest it did?

Indy Coug

5/25/16 9:35am

Do you remember the Nebraska game?

Diablo and Doc

5/25/16 9:38am

I was there. He wasn't squatting 550 in Lincoln. He had other things to

Indy Coug

5/25/16 9:40am

I know that a lis franc (sp?) has nothing to do with pressure put on the foot

srey

In fact, scientists have struggled to replicate conditions that cause

Indy Coug

5/25/16 9:56am

That is because no geeky scientist is squatting 550!

I'll take correlation and causation for 500, Alex

WhiteKnight

5/25/16 9:46am

Yeah but you need something to stir up listeners in May

concolor couguar

5/25/16 9:47am

Taysom has too much muscle mass

chodilicus

5/25/16 10:29am

Finally, someone with a brain responds.

Diablo and Doc

5/25/16 10:41am

That someone with a brain doesn't even know Hill's size.

southernfriedcougar

5/25/16 10:47am

So what is Hill's actual size, genius?

chodilicus

5/25/16 11:07am

I don't think you know what "lean" means.

southernfriedcougar

5/25/16 11:29am

I'm going with Chodilicus on this one.

550 pounds on the front shelf of a QB isn't wise in my opinion

BlueFrog

5/25/16 9:29am

Especially with Taysom's knee issues

TNT

5/25/16 9:33am

Agreed. Normally he carries the team on his back; slightly safer

Twin Roots

5/25/16 9:35am

As long as he has good form, I don't see why

bluebloodedcoug

5/25/16 9:41am

because he is not having good form with a 500 front squat.

BlueFrog

5/25/16 11:09am

imo his lisfranc's injury was because he got too bulky last year without contact

johnnycarson

5/25/16 9:45am

Aside from that being silly. he didn't bulk up last year.

Criddle can be just as bad as Gunther sometimes

Huge Manatee

5/25/16 9:46am

Bad as Gunther? What?

TNT

5/25/16 9:55am

In terms of going to extremes

Huge Manatee

5/25/16 10:00am

That's a lie!

TNT

5/25/16 10:06am

Cause he can. Thats why he's so fast, is he has insane fast twitch fibers, which

cougaman

5/25/16 10:00am

Pretty much a new bionic man

TNT

5/25/16 10:07am

fast twitch =/= squat

Dissenter

5/25/16 11:21am

there is a strong (get it) correlation.

cougaman

5/25/16 11:23am

Think of it like this. Fast Twitch Muscle = Horsepower, Squat Strength = Torque.

Diablo and Doc

5/25/16 11:28am

You are right, but you also recruit them with heavy weight. When maxing out you

cougaman

5/25/16 11:40am

I'm not a trainer, but I tend to think it's likely to over-stress some joints

Accipiter

not just any squat, a friggin front loaded squat.
