Hi Scott I had a question regarding loading exercise selection for my "C" rotation. I'm using FT as a 12 week off season phase for my powerlifting, and was wondering for a thigh compound movement would you recommend a 2-3s pause squat, 3-5s eccentric and concentric tempo squat, smith machine squat or front squat, or a second squat day to fill out my rotation? My first two loading weeks are leg press and squat.
I would assume your answer would be whatever you think is going to help you the most, but in this situation I think they all could help me, I just want to pick the movement that would best fit in your style of programming, and not make this too too much of a hybrid, while still having some carryover to my powerlifting form and success (as mentioned in my other thread I'm having some problem maintaining tightness in my squats resulting in lots of shifting and twisting at the moment, hence the selection of the exercises above)
Might be hard to answer given this information, but any info you have or clarifying questions would be appreciated
By the way I'm in my 2nd week so far and loving it! Really learning how far concentric muscular failure really is down the line, and learning to embrace the pain and push myself harder than ever before!
