JJ, Sorry for the delay in responding, but have been super busy lately. I want to thank you for your thoughtful analysis of the "Nautilus North Study". I...
Ed, Thank you for your feedback! The silence had made me wonder if my posting had even gone through or if I had mortally offended everyone. The information you...
JJ, I have read your review of Nautilus Study - thanks for sharing, there definitely were some good points. I do agree with you that studies like Nautilus...
Alex: I do not understand your question or points. Here's where I am coming from: Someone else on this forum asked about scientific studies in regards to...
I don't have time to provide a long response now, but quite simply when I train using more conventional techniques I gain muscle, lose fat, and get stronger. ...
JJ, First and foremost I appreciate that you didn't take my post differently and have the interest of being friendly. I also appreciate that you went to the...
This sounds more like it. Generally supports the line of my thinking. Again MIT can't be THE SOLUTION for ALL. There are other methods of exercising that are...
Currently I alternate between the following types of workouts: 1) MIT/EF (also some strong range partials) ATP-PC 2) Conventional 3-4 sets full body...
Ed, And what are the intervals between the alternating training sessions. 4 days, 7 days or more? How long is each protocol training session from start to...
Alex: You gave an interesting response. I took the time to read it over and appreciate your effort. The main point I gathered from your posting is that you...
JJ, I agree with you regarding the necessity of proper measurement to get a better idea of what changes are taking place in one's body. I already have a scale...
... But really we don't know what is going on. Remember, scientists test out ... scientific ... contrary, ... or ... JJ makes some valid points in her post... ...
Hi Narong, Looks like they got your message posted :-) If I understood your post correctly and from the little I know about John Little Max Contraction workout...
Alex: This was the first muscle building I have ever tried to do. It was so demoralizing, I haven't been able to make myself try anything else even though a...
Ed, That's fascinating info! Even if you do not have the numbers exactly correct, it is a damning info for using machines like EF and OneRep. On the other...
Narong: As far as I can tell, your post *did* get through. Wow. Great contribution to the discussion. Thanks, - JJ ________________________________ From:...
Ed, I will have to agree and disagree with you here. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING one wish to achieve ABOVE AVERAGE in life requires an effort ABOVE AVERAGE and close...
JJ, I would suggest to first to not be DEMORALIZING with anything you try in life. There is NO GUARANTEE with anything. If SCT/MIT didn't work for you and you...
JJ, I believe you've misinterpreted "voluntary". I agree there are important differences between lifting a weight and purely willed effort against an...
You could be right that I don't understand what is meant by "voluntary", because I do not understand your point. I'm not asking for an explanation. I just...
Alex: Contracting muscles is not about comparing female and male strength. This is about contracting ones own muscles. I haven't read anything anywhere that...
Alex, This not about effort, or some people being able to dig a little deeper, or being more coordinated. It is a fact that humans cannot voluntarily...
Ed: Great info! I may not understand what people mean when they talk about "voluntarily" activating muscle fibers (I admit I may not get it), but your posting...
Just looking for advice and opinions here. Seems like there is a lot of confusion lately if you can build muscle using static contraction training (I currently...
Ed, It's an interesting research. But is it conclusive of ANYTHING? They've only used 8 male subjects (???) and for those particular subjects they demonstrated...
My "theoretical" opinion would be multiple sets of explosive 7 to 12 seconds trying to exceed your max in the previous set. There are some more experienced...
These recent posts are great. They clearly show that there is considerable variation on personnal results and opinions on what works for them, and then...
Mike, I love it. Now we are getting somewhere. 1. agreed - most people will push harder with someone encouraging (or barking) at them. 2. yes! - stay...
JJ, Voluntary (or volitional) just means what you can do when you consciously push or pull your absolute hardest (in a non-emergency situation). Here is...
