Shawn,

Some of this makes no sense to me, especially the part about "just isn't the
same feel or natural motion". The definition of isometric is "same measure" -
meaning no motion. Even if you allow for some compression of the foam on the
seat and very minor deflection of the bar when you push very hard - the amount
of motion is close to zero. Are you now of the option that a little bit of
motion is good?

I think you will agree that the muscles know only tension and position. I find
it surprising that results can be than much better with the Streamline vs EF. I
can only push or pull as hard as humanly possible regardless of if the bar is
attached to and EF machine, a Streamline machine, super heavy weights, or
something else.

I've covered this a couple of times in the past.

The design is better, more natural. There is more limitation with EF
bcause the bars/gear racks are located on the outside of the body.
Now you might say when you Lift free weights, the weight the weights
is on the outside of the body and of course you'd be correct.

However in free weights, your body is centered, and the ends
independent ends of the weight bar are free to move all over.

So with EF equipment the bars are attached and it just isn't the same
feel or natural motion.

The 1RG specifically keeps the focus on the center, the body in all
exercises.

Now this is just an opinion, it's a fact. I've proven it with a
couple hundred clients. They all say the same thing, "the like the
way it feels" Now because I know much about muscle physiology an dCNS
and recruitment of fibers, and kinetic chain, etc... I see on a daily
basis why it gets better reustls and I know why. My clients don't
care why they just like it.

For instance, I started training John 3 weeks, to date he has 3 each
"A" workouts and 3 each "B" workouts.

Yesterday we measured his waist, body fat down 1 full inch
R/L thighs 1/2 inch LARGER (which he specifically wanted)
Body fat on right bicep down 1/4"

His granddaughter same 1/4" bodyfat loss on rt. bicep.

I've trained more people using EF equipment than anyone and the
results don't lie.

It's all being proven in front of some VERY KEY individuals as we speak.

Oh also there is the added benefit of being able to isolate each
muscle group, working the neck, glutes, wrists/forearms etc. together
or independently.
