Michael Yessis' 1x20 program.
Super Squats
Yessis is brilliant.
Performing one set of 20 Squats is a great method of increasing body weight/muscle mass.
Yes, it increases Strength Endurance but does little for increasing Maximum Strength, Power or Speed.
Traditional Bodybuilding/Hypertrophy
High Repetitions are great for increasing muscle mass.
However, it come at the expense of a decrease in Maximum Strength, Power an Speed.
The Platz vs Hatfield is a great example of the difference in training; Strength Endurance vs Maximum Strength. s
The Issue with High Repetition Squats, etc
Aa muscle fatigue set in with each repetition, technique falls a part.
In the final repetition of a set, the focus shift to getting the weight up at any expense.
HIgh Rep Training
It has its place on the Training Table; dependent on the objective and how it is integrated in a Training Program.
