Last night I watched 60 minutes and saw a profine of Bode, the top American skier. They showed him working with weights. He did an odd version of squats. A trainer using pulleys and levers raised a 350 pound weight to shoulder height. Then Bode lowered the weight to the point his ass was touching his calves. Then the trainer brought the weight back up for the next rep.

Can anyone tell me the reason for something like this? Why is lowering the weight but not lifting the weight a good thing?
