Contemporary training practices in elite British powerlifters: survey results from an international competitionPaul A Swinton
1School of Health Sciences, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
J Strength Cond Res 23:380-4. 2009..Collectively, the results demonstrate that previous notions of how powerlifters train are outdated. Contemporary powerlifters incorporate a variety of training practices that are focused on developing both explosive and maximal strength...
Kinematic and kinetic analysis of maximal velocity deadlifts performed with and without the inclusion of chain resistancePaul A Swinton
School of Health Sciences, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
J Strength Cond Res 25:3163-74. 2011..Coaches and athletes should be aware that the inclusion of heavy chains may have both positive and negative effects on kinematics and kinetics of an exercise...
Effect of load positioning on the kinematics and kinetics of weighted vertical jumpsPaul A Swinton
School of Health Sciences, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
J Strength Cond Res 26:906-13. 2012..The results suggest that weighted vertical jumps should be performed with the external load positioned at arms' length rather than on the shoulder when attempting to improve lower-body muscular performance...
A biomechanical analysis of straight and hexagonal barbell deadlifts using submaximal loadsPaul A Swinton
School of Health Sciences, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
J Strength Cond Res 25:2000-9. 2011..The enhanced mechanical stimulus obtained with the hexagonal barbell suggests that in general the HBD is a more effective exercise than the SBD...
