Failure doesn't cause growth.
CCJ, could I concentrate on deadlifts for now, and then quads for another 1-2 month period, back to deads for 1-2 months etc.? It's hard to incorporate both with my new split.
I was thinking of 3x3 squats during the week, heavy with 4-5 minute rests, then 10x2 for speed squats later in the week (spread out) with 30 second rests.
Would this work for strenght and explosiveness, while minimizing the size I gain?
