You mention SAID and GAS and then go right back to your usual rhetoric that one rep and one set is best, overtaining, bicep curls, overtraining, maximum force, time under tension, yada yada. You didnt actually explain ANYTHING.

Why one rep only? Have you measure the acute fatigue effects of 2 reps? How do you know 95% is optimal and not 96%? How have you measured that specific range for tut? And how do you know the effects of prolonged tut? How do you validate reaching maximum contractile force?

This bicep thing is ridiculous. A curl is a measure of bicep strength, sure. Suppose you can curl 50lbs and I can curl 45lbs, I row 90lbs you row 90lbs and I can do 4 pullups and you can do 3. Which one of us is stronger?

I think you proved the argument yourself when you said that an OH can't be done by anyone 'walking off the street'. Its not because they are overly technical, OHs are quite simple movements. Doing the full snatch is technical, pressing and squatting is not. The reason it is hard is because it takes a hell of a lot of stability and overall muscular strength to maintain the press and stabilize it during a squat. Thinking of it in terms of quadracep strength is like thinking of bench as a chest exercise. The OH squat is a not a big poundage movement for most but poundage is not the only thing in the world that measures strength.

What? Are you kidding me? A warmup is not required, jesus H. A warmup is more than moving and lubricating joints, there is also acclimation. And EVERYONE uses their joints on a daily basis, everyone. Just because you go to the gym and do a couple singles does not mean that your cns disinhibited your joints, and what the hell does that even mean. That is one of the dumbest things I have read in this journal.

I would really love to see some references backing up your claims. Even if its only one, I would love it.
