Review: Weights for Speed (One and Two)

@star61

backsquat/atg squat and/or backsquat/clean varies from one athlete to another, but I would guess the typical athlete can back squat 20-25% more weight than he can atg squat, and the ratio would be even higher for the backsquat as compared to the clean.

Charlie said…Understood. I was just thinking in theoretical terms, and wondering IF you did want maximum CNS stimulus in weightroom, which exercise would be considered the most CNS demanding.

Weight moved is one factor and time another. For a very skilled lifter, the clean will create more CNS demand.
