Let me be the first to warn you then, doing that has a tendency of building up your quads so your pants don't fit. Please don't spam me with hate mail when you are broke with a new larger wardrobe. My favorite is descending slow and controlled for a good one to 2 count pause at parallel or even lower, then shooting up like you were over a bunch of M80's going off.
Tell me about it man all my pants that used fit baggy and comfortable now scrunch up my nuts and legs together like nobody's business.
And yeah I always mix in some reps where I just kind of sit in the bottom position for a second or two. I may not go all that heavy but I do go DEEP, ass to calves always. I'll try that exploding up from the bottom tonight, I'm already pumped for it.
When life gives you lemons say fuck the lemons and bail.

Always a good thing when you run into other ANIMALs that agree that the only thing "speed kills," on the way up; is your very fiber of that man.
Count my vote! I just sat down with Rage yesterday and worked up a new routine designed to really increase the maximum taxation rate on my muscle fibers, in new and INteresting ways. Gonna dial the diet in and see how far this old man can go.

Best luck to you! I'll be in the game at 54 and beyond too ;-)
That's good J because I spent my campaign contribution funds on protein powder LOL!
A wise investment in your future indeed. The stability of protein powder in todays market is looking strong and should bulk up dividends in the last quarter for you.
I speak of the simple pat on the back, the screaming at power lifting meets to all competing for records, the "DUDE! These fucking tunes in my ipod make me want to tear this gym apart!" the constant congratulations on this forum when you post a new PR, the comments on myspace/face book/youtube (and the rest of them, "I gotta have my own spot on the web obsessions) the nods of approval in public or even the hateful stares that fuel our desire to grow larger and more powerful, the atmosphere in the gym itself, whether it is conducive or not to, "making you feel at home."
I say drop it all, IF YOU CAN (even for a week). Look within yourself for that very power that motivates you, without all the external help. Strip yourself to the bear minimum to get by and put in a blistering session of training that turns most into soup. This is ANIMAL and LIFE and what ALL should be able to get by on. "NOTHING ELSE BUT YOUR SOUL"
I don't care what my family says.
I don't care what friends say.
I don't care 'bout my girl, my work mates, and other gym attendees say.
I don't care about compliments, critics, the looks, their thoughts or words.
Love me, hate me, adore me, worship me, do whatever.
No one motivates me better than a look at the mirror, knowing there's still a lot of work ahead.
I'll be there for the next workout, my aura all over the weight room and I will shine above all of them haters, lovers or who ever they'll be.
I will struggle until I find success, and then I'll struggle more.

That's heavy, keep putting it down like that brother.
