No, I'm not stating that. It was an idea, not a fact, there is not enough supporting material to state that for sure. The existence of myo-reflex goes against...
Tendons and ligaments need to have SPECIFIC training in order to improve ... Many have lost sight of that including me :) Again one should compare apples to...
NOW, HONESTLY do YOU THINK that type of training (4 times a week with many ... Also because muscle CAN recover in 24 hours and the CNS in about 72 HOURS the...
CNS strength only increases in response to demands beyond all previous demands, (where MIT shines). Kinda like installing bigger circuit-breakers,(more like...
Lazur/Shawn, I think we are going in circles here - the more we write the more everyone stands behind his own point and doesn't see the other. Looks like...
I would like the group opinions, and their reasoning, for the minimum forced negative displacement in the 10 MIT exercises that would be sufficient to cause...
That sounds like good goals. For me it's strength and getting back/staying in shape. Statics will not be the only physical activity that will help me with...
I agree with Lazur that there can't be one-fit-for-all recommendation. People are very different in muscle and CNS recovery rate as well as what it takes to...
I did provided the explanation - I think for many trainees MIT simply doesn't provide the opportunity to overload the CNS or engage it to the level you think...
I fully agree with Ed regarding the difference in static exercise using Tony's or Mike's gyms and free-weight exercises. That was my suspicion from the very...
Let's think about this. Is there any difference if one does statics with a heavy weight vs a fixed bar if nothing moves? The answer of course is NO. But if...
I actually use a crappy old soloflex for some super heavy partials. For example, on the bench, I can set the bar up higher for strong range and load a lot of...
Can nyou define Short range versus long range "partials" ... From: Explosive_Fitness@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Explosive_Fitness@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Full range = the total range of motion for the particular movement - without stretching Long range partial = approx 1/2 to 1/3 of the full range Short range...
While your definitions are fine, I respectfully make one minor observation. With static contractions, there may be minimal movement. The reason I suggest the...
Has any one tried static contraction training with multiple hold points starting at the strongest position and working down into the weakest position? If so...
