Noticed a lot of you guys both using and recommending Myo reps.
Never heard of it until i joined this forum, so did some reading and think I now understand the concept. But what I don't understand is this:
Why incorporate this technique into HST?
To make my specific qustions clear: I understand that Myo reps is a technique which promises better activation of musclefibers, of cource leading to more damage done pr set of ie. 15 reps.
But why would we be interested in that? ..Isn't the point choosing the least effective load and progress from there?
I can't get around thinking:
When using Myo reps, you effectively bring the load up.
This would in turn, force you to either do you're RM test using this technique, or stop using it mid mini-cycle.
Case one would dictate lower weight troughout the cycle, negating the effects.. Case 2 would alow for less progression.
Is see no sweet deals there. Best case is no change.
But:
As I consider many of you, more experienced than me, I'm guessing i'm missing something here.
So the point of this thread is not critiqueing this method, but understanding why it's usefull in HST.
