Whether the article is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, it makes good points. I am a big believer is starting strength, reversals, and acceleration. What the Perfect Rep tries to explain, is that we can improve the lines of CNS communication by forcing our muscles to contract with maximal intensity and attempting to accelerate through the concentric portion of the rep. After studying physiology and experimenting with 100 different ways to execute reps, I personal have discovered that this type of training is very effective at increasing strength, speed, and power. I may have no idea what I’m talking about, and the guys at T Mag might be trying to sell us $100’s worth of supplements, but their training and nutrition advice is most often very useful and at least it stimulates thought and discussion.

Really? I’m no expert at this game, but I’ve taken neurology and physiology classes this year and I must say all the stuff about the CNS sounds like a big piece of BS. You must admit there is no scientific foundation to what this article states. The article makes use of words that are incomprehensible to the general population, and since the author looks like he knows what he’s talking about, it makes the article look more credible.
That being said, this whole website seems very fishy to me.
27 lbs gained in 6 weeks? I don’t know man… How perfect can a rep be?

I have thoroughly enjoyed The Perfect Rep. I've been training with explosive reversals and attempting to accelerate through lockout for years, but this article sums it up best. A must-read for everyone.

What do you think of “The Perfect Rep” article on the T-Nation website?
6 sets of 3 reps, “lower the weight as fast as you safely can”, among other things are what I’m concerned about.

Lesley: Are you using a pad or mat under your knees? Which machine or station are you using? What does the pain feel like? Where is the pain located within the knee?

Sorry for offending you Amy. Every once in a while a female is angered by one of my posts. The reality is that America has the fattest women in the world. The other reality is that America has the fattest men in the world, and the fattest children in the world. I don’t discriminate and I can guarantee you I am not sexist.

Most women see actresses and supermodels and want to look like them, whether size 0, size 2, or size 5. I personally like my women with meat, and would much prefer a woman who wears a size 7 – size 9 than a size 1.

This turned me off because of your opening paragraph about women. You come off as sexist, not every woman wants to fit into a size 2. I’m not roly poly but I’m not obese, there is a medium in between which many women such as myself fit in to. Minus what you had to say about women in the beginning the content was okay.

tia, an article like that would take some research but I’ll put it on my list to consider for the future. Thanks for the feedback.
