in my case, I use 120 to 130% 1RM for a close to 15 seconds hold. Strongly depend on the exercise though...

Padded Hand Grips:

"Once you start pressing the heavy iron your hands and wrists will really appreciate some extra cushioning. One of my customers, Alan Trombetta, makes the best padded hand grips for pressing exercises. I’ve never seen their equal. (Yet they are really inexpensive.) Buy them and you’ll press more weight, it’s as simple as that".

* Suggested use protocol; Hold a maximal weight, for 5 seconds in the strongest range of the given movement. Ideally, two such holds with at least 3 minutes rest, between sets.

This allows them to get stronger and more used to the heavier weight, so that when you are doing Bench, or pulls, or whatever exercise, that you will be more comfortable with the weight and not be like DAMN! THIS IS HEAVY!

Hope that helps!

I wonder if this would work with squats for this reason. Set the safety pins just below your desired height to get you used to being under that much weight.

Any thoughts on this vs leg press Rob?

It's a trade off; Better growth stimulation w/the squat yet, more vertical compression of the spine.

Here's how I/we address it!! Depending upon which 3Faces of Fear(tm) training day it is, here's how I/we go about it!!


45 Degree Hack Squats - Slight vertical compression of the spine
Hip Belt Squats - ZERO vertical compression of the spine
45 Degree Leg Sled/Press - Slight vertical compression of the spine
Hip Belt Squats - ZERO vertical compression of the spine, etc.

Presto, there's your fix and the best of ALL overload worlds!!!
