Ok, I just signed up for this forum, and haven't even started doing the exercises... I've always intuitively taken a week off after a couple months of training, and just started lifting heavy weights (as opposed to lighter and more reps)
But my question is this. I had read a bit about power versus strength, and that there are certain exercises you can do to enhance, or even grow fast twitch fiber muscles. But these things really only work if you have the strength to hand over to the power. So I have incresed my vert by maybe 1 or 2 inches (just started lifting legs 2 weeks ago) by doing machine squats, leg press, et al.
Really, what I want to know, is if HST says anything about making it so I can get an edge on the volleyball or basketball court.
Thanks in advance
