It's ironic about the "can't fire out of the stretch" part, as this is
isokinetics/(speed controlled exercise), which has historically been handled in
the exact opposite manner:very fast speed settings, thus -requiring- "firing out
of the stretch" to keep up with the machine! (Perhaps even this unit can be set
for such work.)--- In Explosive_Fitness@yahoogroups.com, Ed White

trainer's doing things a client -could- do after a little experience. Also, some
styles of personal training are very hands-on, keeping clients focused on pure
simple effort w/no technical distractions, but I'm not seeing anything here a
user couldn't do while working out alone.--- In Explosive_Fitness@ yahoogroups.
