Review: Weights for Speed (One and Two)

So even if you are lifting at equal intensity, say 3 reps at your 4 rep max, the incline press is less CNS demanding because the overall weight is lower. Wouldn’t this also apply to half-squats vs ATG squats, or half-squats to cleans? And if the reverse is true and you’re looking for the greatest CNS stimilus, would you then prefer half-squats over ATG squats or cleans?

Before we get into too much of a chicken and egg argument, think first about weights as a stimulus towards the next HI session.
How much do you need? How much room do you have left in your current session to get it?
How do you measure it?
