hi,
lese grad mal wieder dinsour training und bin grad bei dem kapitel über schwere singles. wollte daher mal fragen wie ihr so dazu steht.
für alle die das buch nicht kennen hier ein kleiner auszug:
Many dinosaurs do heavy singles. Why? Because they have discovered that for many men,
singles build more muscle and strength than sets of multiple repetitions. Yeah, I KNOW that
singles are contrary to modern wisdom and conventional training protocols. I KNOW that all
of the modern experts say that single reps are dangerous and non-productive, I KNOW that all
the modern “champs” say to train with light weights and concentrate on “feeling” the
movement. I KNOW that no one at the House of Chrome and Ferns ever does a single rep in
anything. And I KNOW that we have all kinds of wonderful “scientific” training systems that
regard heavy singles as worthless, dangerous, insane and ridiculously old fashioned.
1 also know that heavy singles made me bigger and stronger than any other combination of
sets and reps I ever tried. I know that they have worked extremely well for my training
partners. I know that they allowed my good friend, Greg Pickett, to push his upper arms to
18” of rock-hard muscle at a height of 5’6”. All of the experts who can give you a dozen
scientific reasons why singles do not build muscle or strength will have to explain why they
work so well for me, my training partners and Greg.
