Question: What is the thinking behind the maintaining the speed of the ascent on the back squat vs putting on a lil more weight and struggling more at the bottom?
Great question. In a day where you are doing strength immediately followed by conditioning, I think it is best to keep the speed on the strength sets because slow, grinding sets will be too taxing and leave you drained for the conditioning. I believe this approach to be the most sustainable and productive in a general physical preparedness program. If you were only doing strength, you could take the sets to a deeper, darker place.
