tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | I've heard the pinning theory before. It probably makes sense tbh. | ||

And it's safe to presume that we all agree, a compressed muscle contracts harder? Or is more willing to contract or is always in a state of partial contraction so it can contract fully much quicker when required or...no this is a bit of a minefield as well isn't it. | ||

I've not looked into it enough to decide what that actually does but I get accused of being good at stuff cos of insertion points, so I know at least someone believes this s**t lol. And yes, high bar, upright, more knee bend should get more benefit from knee wraps. Low bar is a typically "backy" way to squat, knee wraps will just make you extend your legs quicker and put more pressure on your back to finish the lift. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdd7x6jk1b1qb23y3o1_500.png Still peddling bouncing philosophy are we?  | ||

This might shock you but weightlifting existed way before powerlifting so bouncing is actually really old! | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17932 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Cut it where you will, but knee wraps are gorgeous. If you dislike them, don't use them, but don't have a pop at those with the ability to find fun where you cannot. Because of the climate I now compete it I no longer use mine, but I still have them. I always will. We share many happy memories and have never had a cross word. | ||
