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

If you want to increase/maximize your FTM (explosion), you're better off running sprints and box jumping.

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

5/25/16 9:33am

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

5/25/16 10:56am

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

AFcoogPT

5/25/16 3:34pm

All stressing is not the same

Hank Rearden

5/25/16 7:35pm

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

5/26/16 11:27am

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

5/25/16 9:41am

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!

concolor couguar

5/25/16 10:00am

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.

LifeLongLakerFan

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

5/25/16 11:31am

not just any squat, a friggin front loaded squat.
