I just purchased the one ton hooks and was trying them out yesterday on the Deadlift. I couldn't seem to get a good feel for them despite adjusting the straps...
Andrew, Thanks for your response. I listed all of the exercises that I have done on the EF equipment. I've stopped doing some, substituted others in, switched...
Joe, I have small wrists and large forearms, so I had a bit of a problem with the hooks. I then got heavy duty gloves with a long wrist wrap (Harbinger, I...

bill, you need to seperate your pushing and pulling exercise to give your body time to recover.. give up shoulder press and do upright row instead, thats...
Andrew, Those are the standard A/B workouts in the EF Manual. I started with the XFT workouts because they do separate pushing & pulling. It does make sense...

Joe Shmoe, I thought I'd just start right back at the beginning, according to the manual. When I hit 2 skips, I'll add days & be at once a week. Actually, I'm...
I can not beleive that I have not had one STC advocate reply. Let alone anyone who has forked out for some Explosive Fitness equipment... If it's that great...
The link doesn't lead anywhere. John Little referred to a Pete Sisco study that indicated there is a 35% transference of strength from static contraction to...

Dhugal, I have info from since time began! Quite a bit anyway. Actually I've read the "leverage" statement before. I think it originated with Andrew Baye. He...
Interestingly, it seems Mr. Baye may be rethinking his previous position, if I am correct that he is the one who first mentioned "leverage". This is from a...
