I read yet another interesting article on T-Nation (click title) on the topic of mass and strength. It cites the example of Ben Johnson, pre-doping scandal, where one of his workouts comprised heavy squats followed immediately by sprints. The performance gains, as related by the article are impressive. It got me thinking.
I won't be squatting anytime soon. I'll know more about the condition of my knee after visiting with the doc. The pull-up project might benefit from this protocol: eg. weighted pull-ups followed by unweighted. Heck, why not everything else, presses, roll-outs, and eventually squats?
