Moving from standing to squatting with the hip crease below the patella and back to standing takes, even unweighted, 1-2 seconds depending on the athlete. Now add 438 lbs. of load and you're talking about moving FASTER than that, for close to 100 times per minute. That is not only impossible, but trying to achieve that standard is extremely unsafe, and borderline stupid.

For your program to be taken seriously, you're going to have to provide empirical evidence. Hell, even a video of a typical Blitz workout would go a long way toward substantiating your claims. Promising someone the ability to perform 70x450lb. squats per minute just doesn't hold water without providing specific examples of actual, similar results.

Lastly, a leg press on a machine with 450lbs. and a barbell back squat with 450lbs. are such drastically different animals that saying "it's all strength" shows a misunderstanding of the nature of the barbell lifts versus their Nautilus "equivalents".

You are making a statement on an assumption of velocity, which you've not done your home work.

The example I gave is based on "your Numbers (lower numbers) the number of reps would be determined by you. An average of folks is about 400 degrees of movement when not limited by heavy weight. Many people are doing Squats around 80 reps min. SO you would start at 105 lbs at your rep speed and progress from there In eight that "could" become 438.lbs and you would be still moving at your set velocity.
