quads>hams even when you squat the hams are working, lunges hams are working, leg press hams are working etc.....

I'm not sure I understand

I don't know why you'd tell him not to attempt heavy weights, especially for athletic performance.

 

[Donut62]

Yeah, I notice most people are quad-dominant

Unless your shit is hanging over your knee, you are not quad dominant, you just need to get stronger everywhere.

Most athletic performances are centered around a persons ability to do repetitive sub-maximal contractions with occasional bursts of maximal strength ( ie fighting). You have to draw a line and determine what is appropriate for the activity and what is an optimum level for the athlete. In most sports they key element is not how much you can 1RM in a front squat.

I do cycle people into heavier lifts but for most athletes I focus on technique and specificity rather than maximal lifts.

i could understand this with a novice lifter good post

While its true that you get to a point where addin' more to your deadlift wont help much in movin' your opponent, the conditioning forum is

[maori rule all]

can we not just lift the Iron in many ways and destroy it, then are neuromuscular pathways will be efficicent in the type of contractions and movements in destroying anything, eg people, functional strength right there team.
