"pause".

i have never paused on a box squat or seen anyone at the gym do it either. sit on the box, relax your hips, then flex HARD and violently off the box, no puase. to me puase means to stop and keep everything the same, you do that with everything except the hips. so the way i see it, its not a pause. it LOOKS like a pause, but theres alot more going on the meets the eye. much like when a swan or duck is swimming through the water, from above doesnt seem like much is going on, but look under the water and its chaos.

You're killing me Liftbig. LOL "Pause" in quotes means relaxing my hips where to the eye, it kinda looks like a "pause". On the other hand, pause with no quotes would mean sitting on the box with a very visible pause like a swan or duck sinking in the water. Guess I need to get my lingo right huh?

I'm really enjoying it. It keeps me much more goal-oriented. Bottomline, I want PR's on bench. If I don't get them on bench, then I can get them on the 4-board or 5-board, etc. It keeps me motivated in that aspect. I'm looking forward to each week of training.
