But actually your able to generate more force at submaximal weights moving “fast” than you are at a maximal weight. F=ma, and thus if you decrease the mass by 25% but double acceleration, the force will be greater. I am still a little confused about the theoretical differences between force/velocity, and force/acceleration. It seems that your only able ot accelerate at the beginning of a movement, and then you’ll have to decelerate toward the end, unless your jumping.
As for the forearm thing, i’ll get my book tommorow when im at work. I know it will raise the max force needed to hang on, and thus if you continue to hang on you might be applying more force. If your doing a sub max force, you are still able to achieve maximal isometric grip force, but you dont necessarily have to. As for meeting the demands of increases above isometric max, i think this is where eccentric contractions come in. I will get my book though tommorow, and post the quote from it.
