for some of you single/younger police officers (almost like my self if i pass the academy) who want to put on some size and muscle heres a tip that i recently discovered. i've been at it for 12 weeks and I've noticed drastic differences in my workouts stronger now than ever.
basic summary you need a workout partner lets say your benching you do 60-80% of your max 1 rep. You go and do 8 full reps then 4 partial reps with a negative. Meaning you do a partial rep come back up then your partner pushes down on the bar while you slowly resist till it hits your chest then your partner brings the weight back up to the top and you repeat 4x. I've incorporated this method into every workout i do. I partially don't like the workout plan itself but as far as the hell static reps go they are amazing

First ofall, you realize that this thread is over 2 1/2 years old and it is very likely that some of that people that you are addressing don't even frequent the site anymore?

Next, why does your lifting advice apply to only "single/young guys". At almost 40 years old, I can still keep up with, if not beat, most guys coming out of our academy.

Finally, from a guy with a little lifting experience, your "discovery" is half the workout that is generally considered a good routine to get stronger and put on some mass. Usually, you warm up with a few reps at a lower weight and work your way up to your 1 RM. Back when I did this, I knew my max bench was somewhere around 385 (i've since changed my approach on workouts). I would do a couple reps (3-4) at 185, then a couple at 225, then a couple at 275. I would then do 1 at 315 and maybe ~350. Finally I would go for a max rep. Then I would do max effort reps as I dropped weight off, usually starting at 315. Once I could not do any more reps at a given weight, I would do 2-3 negatives. My shoulder would start "rolling" by 225 or 180 and then I knew I was done for the day.

These days, I follow routines more along the cross-fit theory. Between that and work getting in the way, I've lost a lot of strength and max out somewhere near 300 now. I still hold my own for not being "single/young".

Everyone knows old people can't lift weights.

Seems they can't remember to close long dead, revived threads either!

We can always have a little competition.

I chose not to. I prefer to not post a responsive reply (the lifting part) and then close it. Sorry. I responded in a moment of weakness.
