Alex - I think you could do the equivalent of what I am trying on EF equipment now on traditional machines by simply doing a static hold until failure or 90...
To be clear: I am aiming to maintain constant pressure at a pre-set target throhghout the 90 seconds so of course it seems easy at first and then gets very...
I don't understand why don't you try the same with a free weight? You will achieve a MUCH BETTER stimulation than on the machine. The static machines are...
Hey Ed--that's a great idea--I never thought of adding weight to the bars on my soloflex! What do you use to keep?them in place? How much can you add on each...
Hi Alex, So are you saying that you do static holds on top of a normal HIT workout? Have you tried just the static holds with free weights with the extended...
No, not really the normal HIT workout. Typical HIT workout recommends going for 1 set of 8 to 10 reps in 1 exercise per muscle group. That doesn't work for me...
Interesting concept. Its funny I always seem to do better with the heavy compound exercises myself. I'm going to try static holds with extended hold times...
Do I have to come over there? Why do you think you are not working out? Do you think it will be painful, take too much time, not yield results? Wrong,...
... I am using the EF SL Digital machine because I have it and it is convenient. With one machine I can do multiple exercises including heavy leg press....
I think TUL could not be set in stone and should be found experimentally for every trainee. Besides mental inclinations there is obviously the other factor in...
James a couple observations. If following a BBS protocol with statics, I believe the concept would be to hold a weight (or press at a level) that would cause...
Hey, folks!? I don't have a meter, but I've used a digital scale to calibrate maximum hold forces (roughly) on Smith machine and Leg press. These forces are...
That's definetely a success in weight reduction. But hold on. You are saying that you have got last 10% of strength increase in 90% of your program duration...
Alex In response to your questions: 1. "That's definetely a success in weight reduction. But hold on. You are saying that you have got last 10% of strength...
1. How do each of you define success? 2. Has any one tried a squat on the 1 Rep or the Streamline? -If so, any problems? -How did your gains compare to leg...
1. How do each of you define success? I define success based on measured timely progress towards a very specific goal. For SCT, this means incremental as well...
About a year ago, I had a discussion with a college football player as to the potential benefits of partial range of motion and static contraction exercises....
Let us know how well he does if he tries again. Fully adapted human musculature should be able to generate static holds of 4x body weight per leg based on my...
