Lifting was actually less painful for me with high volume on the legs if I start with low weight and work myself up

I found simply grabbing the heaviest weight I could and doing a bicep curl with my arms to be less painful than high volume with my arms

Where as if I tried a one rep max with my legs it would be much more painful than high volume and low weights with my legs

So my legs were in less pain with high volume low weight

But my arms were in less pain with low volume high weigyt

I found that if I start with a very low weights on a leg machine and do about 150 reps in one set I can recover well because the weight is so light but because the weight is so light it is easy to increase the weight with the same number of reps and this can be done until I can not complete it in one set

Then I would do it with more weight and less reps and work on increasing the reps until I achieve about 150 in one set again then go up in weight

The recovery was easy & maxed many machines

So what he is doing is holding an isometric exercise as long as possible then when he can no longer hold it he slpws down the rate at which it returns to the original position eccentrically

I think this is a good idea

In Yoga, Ballet and Martial Arts isometric holds have a long time tested history of use

Heavy Negatives are different then what he is suggesting they are where you take a weight so heavy you can not even hold it in place isometrically and try to slow it down

White British Europeans were allegedly the first people group to end slavery on a large country size scale

White people get blaimed for slavery instead of other groups that previously and still continue to practice slavery like some people that call themselves Jewish or Muslim and some African war lords

This reminds me of a biography on Milton Erickson I read where he offered a medical or psychological or psychiatric professional a warning if they wanted one

( maybe he wrote a letter and said you can open it if you want a warning about this patient at any time )

The person chose not to read the warning and wasted years working on the patient with no progress

Then they finally chose to read or listen to the warning & it said you will make no progress working with this patient
