hahaha. yet another thread where a dude is worried his ass is getting too big. you know you need to post a pic before people can give you advice on that, yeah??
seriously - i don’t think i know any guys with asses that are too big.
but maybe you will find some girlfriend who thinks it is cute when you stress about whether your ass looks too big in some cute little outfit :-p

There was a comment on here that really got me thinking, “How can we train the CNS without actually moving any weight?” This lead me to start thinking how to mimic the stress of very heavy training. Basically, everytime we lift something heavy (near or at max) the fight or flight response kicks in. Either you power through it or you fail miserably. This is strenous because more muscles are used to move max weights than lighter weights. I even read one time that Stiff thought we had “emergency muscle fibers” that only fire in life or death situations but those same muscles are activated during extremely intense weightlifting. So here is my training protocol to maximize the use of the CNS without actually doing anything:
-Get a training partner
-Walk into the gym cold and don’t warm-up
-Load a bar with 400% of your max
-Squat the bar out of the rack but don’t walk it out or go anywhere
-Your training partner should spot you from the front and keep track of time (5 seconds)
-He will count very very loudly with a loaded handgun pointed at your face
-When he gets to zero he has to scream “Rack it or I will kill you.”
This should mimic a very stressful situation and should get that CNS in good shape.[/quote]

My version is better.

just do low volume on squats, and hammer the DLs.
There is no eccentric in DL so it won’t put on as much muscle (still some, but not as much)
You can always just do something similar to the “I don’t feel like doing shit” routine on 5/3/1
Just work up to your max, do some core work, and call it good. Use the extra time to build that upper body. Your ass won’t look as big with a thick upper back.

I was going to write some witty stuff but Storm the Beach pretty much finished this off.
I would like to see a pic of these ‘wheels’ that the op purportedly doesn’t need any bigger. Are you Kangarooesqe? Hyooge legs, little torso and arms like a T- Rex? I say this in jest but for real dude, why not just up your game on upperbody stuff and cut back a bit on the legs. This shit aint hard bro. It’s not like you walk by a weight set and get legs like Branch Warren but maybe YOU do idk…
Unless you are in an 80’s hair metal GLAM metal band why sweat needing to wear skinny jeans? Buy shit that fits and move on. This is the POWERLIFTING forum afterall, where one typically fights to get as huge / strong as possible. So having said that your post is incongrously absurd as are my comments…

So alright, I’ve been doing squats with a stretch reflex (kinda like a bounce) but only went to little below parallel. Today some man told me I should not fall down so fast(i don’t completely let the weight fall and hope that I come up) because when i squat more, i’ll go down and not get up then break my back and shit. He said that it’s the reason why powerlifter go down slowly when maxing. The dude is pretty damn strong, too.
Did 350 bench for 3 reps, 530 squat for reps (don’t know how many, I didn’t really look at him too much) he’s probably a powerlifter.
I’m only going down quite fast because I want to minimize tension on my legs (really don’t need any more hypertrophy, l32 w36 jeans won’t fit my legs soon if they continue to get bigger(and I’m only 16, my upper body sucks, and I haven’t done much training for my lower body except 3 months on SL 5x5 and now 2 months on madcows, so my legs are far from max potential) I’m 13-14%(judging from upper body) bodyfat so fat PROBABLY isn’t the problem here, I’ll try to lean down and see, maybe I hold majority of fat on my lower body.
So if not stretch reflex/going down fast, what can I do to minimize hypertrophy on legs?

My girlfriend loves my ass, especially that time I squeezed into a pair of chino’s for a night out LOL.
Expect a lot of ass slaps tho!
Oh and regarding your question, I don’t understand this word “minimize hypertrophy”…ahem
