The Anterior Chain

Thats my point RJ, I DONT PUSH THE SINGLE LEG LIFTS BECAUSE ITS DUMB. Im sure the athlete could have done more but who cares.

@rj24

Thomas, thanks. I’ve just been trying to get across that there’s no reason that maximal strength ever needs to be demonstrated in a 1RM bilateral lift for a sprinter.

tamfb, those split squat numbers are weak. I’ve done 210 for sets of 5 and I’ve never squatted more than 320 x 8 and 335 x 5. Funny enough, I do have a 10’+ SLJ.

My point is that you don’t need bilateral lifts to build strength. Unilateral lifts work just fine, and as Tom said, Dan Pfaff and Stephen Francis seem to think so too.
