Or like Clint Darden says..."Balls and Attitude" week.
We are at the stage in training that we will alternate the weeks with a Max Effort for 6 reps week, then a Dynamic Effort Week at 50% of the estimated 1 RM. Then we'll do a 4 RM week and then do dynamic effort at 55%. Lastly, we will establish a 2 RM and then hit 60% the following dynamic week.
The important thing to remember and I try to drill into my participant's heads, Technique is paramount, but the AGGRESSION necessary is a close second.
Most people will THINK they are lifting dynamically when in reality they are moving a lighter weight a little bit faster. NO! If your squat is 600 lbs then the 300 lbs dynamic weight has to be moved with the same force of that 6 bills.
I find myself repeating, "find that inner rage!", "Find something to hate and take your anger out on the weight"!!!
Sometimes I think people are way too nice, or they have a hard time expressing that "Darkside".
Whatever it is that AMPS you up, find it and use it!
"Balls and Attitude"!!!
