Barry, Just wanted to let people know, that we don't know each other and your article was sent to me when it first appeared. Kind of figured the power clean might not be needed. I did this workout as an experiment for a newsletter I write for. The year before, I had great luck with Pavel's "grease the groove" system of training with deads. |

Hmmm, I made a mistake in my previous post...All the fibers are used at the same time, the question is which ones are dominant. Lighter weights do not recruit as many of the larger motor units. These are the fastest firing motor units and create the most tension (strength). I shouldn't post late at night 
Pavel is a great guy with lots of info. I've met with him a few times, for several hours each time. Always a great experience with him! |

At my gym the manager told me that the latest wisdom on weight training was to just do one set to muscle failure-that any more sets after that don't add more than 5% gain. Any comments on that? |

Go to a different gym 
Lifting to failure is a bodybuilding technique and is not relevant to sport performance. The goal should be to increase strength while minimizing increase in mass. Lifting to failure generally leads to more mass and one set to failure rarely will make one stronger than a focused routine with a minimal number of exercises. |

| Post subject: | Speaking of mass...weight reduction to throw further? |
Most of the throwers I know have a little extra mass  ...and it has occured to me that most of the weight that we are actually accelerating is our own bodyweight-the implements are almost trivial compared to that
Any thoughts on weight (fat) reduction as a way to throw further? |

As a long time throws coach, I believe the abilty to accelerate is more important than mass for a thrower. So, since f = m x a, one shoul keep mass to a minimum and strive to improve acceleration. This doesn't mean no mass, just what mass is necessary to improve strength. Most of the mass gain is a product of the way the workout is done rather than a product of strength training itself. |
