Can I ask what a paused set is?
So I just did this again today, a month after the first time i tried it.
after a light warm up, i did a plyometric pullup for "control". Not bad, not amazing.
I then warmed up more and did 2x27.5kg which was definitely my max.
I rested 30s as prescribed and then i did my plyometric pullups.. and there was absolutely no change from the control.
my impression of the contrast training so far is that it may help in the short term in terms of increasing recruitment-- i think my baseline pullups and jumps now are better than a month ago-- but it's unlike weight training where you can get continuous gains as long as you keep at it.
