Weak point training has its place in powerlifting, though it often gets misused
- Training at the sticking point (instead of before)
- Variations that aren’t specific enough
- Pick how you vary things
- Change in implement:
- Specialty bar
- DBs/KBs
- Unilateral
- Resistance curve
- Intensity (proximity to 1rm)
- ROM
- Grip/stance width
- Change in implement:
- Pick how you vary things
- Underuse of accommodating resistance.
- Yes, it’s great for lockout strength,
- Especially with bands I find this to be an INCREDIBLE technique builder as it really rewards consistent tightness
- Building explosiveness – input force vs adjusted external load and velocity.
