Sorry to be so anxious, just really hoping for some feedback on my questions. I really think this is a technique that could help me with my lagging areas.
From the video seems like your partner makes it harder when you do the 5 count. You can tell by the way their hands grab the machine when they help their partners. Correct me if I'm wrong since no one replied to this question.
Very very interesting read. Excited to begin trying this once I feel competent enough. Also, granted I get the nod from Rage, I am interested in using the example split for bulking you provided.
With that said, what is the best way to estimate my 1 rep max? Furthermore 80% of my 1RM? I have been logging my workouts for the past 3 months and always striving to hit 10 challenging reps.
A little clarification on the negatives. "Increasing tension." Does that mean your partner should be making it 'harder' while you are working that 5 count? For example if I was on a set of incline bench presses, once I began the negative portion of the set, would the training partner 'push down' on the bar? Or just simply provide enough support so that the bar did not drop on my chest?
Very excited to incorporate this into my training.
On your 1RM, you can always guesstimate based on your experience in the gym. If the weight you pick initially is too easy/hard just adjust for the next go around.
On the Forced Negatives portion of the movement you do in fact have your partner pushing on the bar very carefully while guaging how your handling the resistance he's providing. Your partner would push on the bar with continuous pressure all the way to your chest and then he helps you bring the bar back up to the starting position. The two of you are working as a team and your not fighting against each other.

I could not believe how deep the technique reaches into the fiber - as Rage explains it causes micro-tears deep in areas that no doubt add to growth in areas I just have not been able to access.
Outstanding technique but don't surprised if you puke. It's 100% Animal Intense.
And looking forward to hitting it again with you this Saturday brother.

Pre contest is all about emptying the tank and this does just that. I'm running it for my prep all the way through every other week.
