Yup use a broom handle whenever I canmost of the time it's rope though.
That's not quite so bad, then.
I tried a band for the first time a few weeks ago and was surprised by how useful it wasn't for the stretch... to be fair, using a trainer barbell feels like it's tearing my pecs off, but in such a good way...

If you were called BigLegsPeter, then I wouldn't have to ask if you knew what a squat actually was.
Anyone tried the 20 rep squat program? My training partner is considering trying it, he's currently running smolov.
Anyways, asides from certain cardiac arrest, has anyone gotten good results from it?
If I switch I'd drop deads completely and pretty much make every session
Squat
Push movement
Rowing movement
Thoughts?

Saturdays session

2x2x180 (supposed to be 177.5 but.....I dunno, the plates looked nicer)
2x1x187.5
Bench - went up in 10s for 10 reps or bust, felt better on my bicep this way
10x40-90
6x100 - happy enough.
DB Bench
5x 30
5x5x 42 - comfy
Dips
No belt and tris fried, hit a few BW sets but nothing impressive

That looks pretty brutal.
Although, looking at how professional weightlifters train (two sessions a day - morning and evening - at a minimum) with the emphasis quite literally on lift-eat-lift-eat-sleep-*, this sort of progression could be envisaged if the lifter can dedicate the requisite time and recovery to it.
The Bulgarian Weightlifting method, for instance, involves something along the lines of 45 minutes of snatch, clean, clean'n'jerk, front squat with 15 minutes rest between.
All day. Almost every day.
Yes, steroids would have been involved, but I don't think that equates to a magic bullet. Genetic predisposition and work ethic has a huge amount to play in here, too.
As I said, however, this is for professional athletes - not joe average (and for weightlifters, not whatever else)...
I personally would love to do it for a few months to see how it goes, but life gets in the way. as it's too good to miss
