charleswatson updated his body fat from 7.5% to 8%, a gain of 0.5% in 1 day.
If you walk into a commercial gym on Monday, "International Chest Day," you'll typically see four or five guys bouncing the bar off their chests and then running around for high-fives. These are the same dudes who probably brag about the 405-pound, 5-rep deadlift they bounced off the floor. They might brag about some big numbers, but if you ask them to do pause-reps, their weight would probably drop by at least 50 pounds. Bounce-reps work because of the stretch reflex, also called reactive strength, or the release of stored energy. Think of the small squat you do before you jump. That squat stores energy in your muscles and tendons so they can act like springs when you jump. Basketball players with short calves and long Achilles tendons are genetically gifted in reactive forces. Their legs are really good at storing kinetic energy. The bar bouncing from the chest or the floor gives your body time to store energy and use it to push or pull. It might be easier, but you're only cheating yourself. Deadstop training, which basically involves a full pause at the bottom of any rep, removes reactive strength from your training. It cuts the bounce from your reps, and it can help you build a significant amount of force production power and raw strength.

Even if you're not a strength "purist," you can benefit from deadstop training. Your muscles get bigger and stronger and your CNS gets a new challenge. Here are some ways to apply deadstop training to your regimen:
METHOD 1 //

The goal is to create power so there are no light sets of 12 or 15 reps. I do sets of four and work my way down to sets of one or two. I suggest starting with five sets and working your way to a heavy set of two reps. Floor presses are slightly different. Lie on the floor in a squat rack and place pins so you can reach up and unrack the bar while flat on your back. Lower the bar until your arms are rested on the ground, pause for a count of three, and then explode up. Make sure that the pause is long enough to release the stored energy.
METHOD 2 //
BOX SQUATS
These same techniques can be used very effectively on other muscle groups. Although leg training might come second to the almighty bench press for many gym-goers, it shouldn't. Set up a box at parallel depth and position it so you can sit on it without impeding your movement pattern. When you come down to sit on the box, keep your body tight, but stop completely. Wait a couple seconds to release your stored energy, and then power yourself back up.

The forces built up during a heavy squat are tremendous, and eliminating the stretch reflex will increase your power output tremendously. It will also increase the size of your legs because they will actually be doing a lot more work.
METHOD 3 //
DEADLIFT
It's called the deadlift for a reason: It's done from a dead stop! Just as the pin press and box squat, the point of this movement is to completely stop once the weight hits the floor. You can take a moment to re-adjust your grip, your stance, your back angle, and then pull again. If you have to go lighter, do it. Your CNS will function better and you'll see a lot better gains faster.

theres nothing really new or revolutionary about this. touch and go deadlifts are almost useless. this is basiclly saying do proper form and use things like pause squats and heavy lockouts. this is one of the only articles on this site i actually support. noah, i am proud. you go girl

Thing is that many guys don't really know a lot about training. I ran into this type of training about 4 years back with Chad Waterbury. It is the exact same concept of using force to produce better results.

Just started using pause reps in my workouts and I can already tell that different muscle fibers are being used when training this way, due to the new soreness.

Talking all about the Strength Curve in this article. Educating myself about the strength curve and learning how to manipulate it to the way you want to lift is great for your body and muscles and GAINS. Every serious lifter should know what the strength curve is and how to make it work for them.

It's called the DEADlift. I can't believe the amount of times that I've seen people bounce the bar off the floor without even hip hinging. The same thing with bounce the bar off your chest when Bench Pressing.

I also really enjoyed this article, I've been using the rest pause method for a little over a month and have noticed significant gains. I couldn't help but laugh at two teenagers yesterday at the gym bouncing the weight so hard off the floor the trainers had to come over and tell them to knock it off.

I'm going to start implementing this immediately. Also, what are your thoughts on rack pulls? I'm trying to hit my back more and glutes less...I'm starting to turn into buttzilla.

I love rack pulls, a lot of times I get a really achy lower back from too much off the ground work or deep squats. I find generally I can still work around this working off the rack at about knee level. Killer on the lower back lats and midback. I feel like they also get you used to moving massive amounts of weight

I find the explosive bit hard to do personally I feel like something might rip on the inside , but the dead stop thing I've always employed though without pins or racks , complete pause then engage the motion ( Cept deadlifts their my jam), it makes the rep harder. Lifting heavy shet ain't suppose to be easy Good article

Many people confuse a jerking movement with explosiveness. Jerking will definitely cause internal ripping of joints ligaments, or muscle away from bone. Explosive is actually starting slow for the first inch or two then concentration all power into lifting the bar as fast as possible to just before lockout. When using very heavy weight you feel the explosiveness even though the bar rises very slowly.
