![]() ![]() If you want to really push loads, there are other exercises that might better fit the bill. Way-too-heavy-loads result in technique that looks like the video below. Really heavy hang high pulls are hard to keep your form in good shape. Number one, it was with the lower loads that we saw the higher power outputs and bar+body system velocities, and number two it is with the lower loads that the exercise is easier to be technically competent. In the weightroom (I would say “real world”, but the weight room isn’t really the real world either- the real world doesn’t have nearly as much metal, loud music and awesomeness…) you probably want to focus on the lower load range if your goal is maximum power development. Pretty neat! (Maybe this is more reason to track velocity? I don’t know…) What this may tell us is that the changes in velocity load to load might be what affected the changes in peak power. If you want to focus on maximum power generation, you probably want to focus on the 30%-45% loads (or at least around that range).Īnother interesting finding was this: Force at peak power didn’t change much between loads (30% to 45% to 65%), and only changed a little bit from 65% to 80%. Velocity at peak power, on the other hand, did tend to change as the load got heavier (it decreased). Note, that this exercise can also be done using dumbbells, kettlebells (single or double), and other various types of. This tells us that as you manipulate loads on the bar, you are influencing velocity more than you are influencing force. In the below video the barbell sumo deadlift high pull is demonstrated.
