I read a book that basicly you do one lift, but hold it for some time to recruit deep muscle fiber thats dormant, or something like that. I might be blowing this out of context.

But thats what I am guessing the 20 rep thing is also used for....
Wish I could remember the name of the book, read it years ago, but my dad told me to stop doing the lifts because he said it does'nt let you use the tendons fully to its potential.
