Based on there slow response to my problem it seems to me they do not really care much about the old equipment anymore. They want to move on. How tight should...
Miles, That's truly unfortunate. I hope they realize that it's hard for a company to wash away the 'bad taste' left in the mouths of customers whom they have ...
Hi Everyone, This is my first post, although I have been monitoring this board for several weeks, and enjoying the education. I just restarted the SCT ...
Anthony, I appreciate your view. Frankly, I think an ideal approach might be to combine the two (SCT & MC). I just can't buy the notion that if you put out a...
Well said Anthony. Tom-I'm doing mostly individual exercises, like the curl, triceps pushbacks, leg extensions, shoulder presses, etc. I do these all on a...
Hi guys, I'm a new owner of an XF-7000 system...I used to have the old system...waited about 10 weeks for the new unit...didn't get any workouts in for 10...
That's really not too very far off. I imagine there is less friction in the 7000 than the older machines. Calibrating the meter can be a bit of a pain, if you ...
<-SNIP-> I just can't buy the notion that if you put out a maximum effort, the muscle is exhausted. <-SNIP> I am not really sure what this is about here....
Scot, My point is that it isn't MY experience that one compound lift, no matter how heavy, will exhaust a muscle. For one thing, as John Little points out...

Anthony, I tightened up the cables as you suggested and that did the trick. As far as calibrating the old unit. Could I calibrate it while it was hooked up to...
What might get you pretty close with the load cell installed in the upper body machine, is to get a known weight (like a barbell), and place it in the exact ...
I Finally put my XF-7000 together and everything went fairly smooth. But you will need a hammer as some of the holes for the bolts were slightly off alignment....
I found the same and a few more. I echo your sentiments exactly. ... From: Apideh To: Explosive_Fitness@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 4:14 AM ...
I just got my new machine a week ago Friday. I did my first workout on Monday. I'd like to make a few suggestions. When putting it together you need to read...
Bill, I think what you had to say is right on, and very well said! I have the older model upper and lower body machines, bench and meter for sale. They are...
Hi, Just found this group and have had the same experiences with the 7000, except I never received any responses to my questions about why the pieces did not...
Gordon, I'm not experienced enough to answer your "how many reps" question but would like to know what problems you had with your meter. What is different...
The first meter and base, that the gear rail attach to, were replaced because the meter quit responding. Amanda, at EF, was good about replacing it right away....
I must have the re-designed meter then. My meter is totally different than what is shown in their pictures of the exercises. I had a problem turning it on at...
Gordon, I think the general response you'll get here is that, if done correctly, to exhaustion, one rep is enough. Generally, I think you'll hear that, if you...
Anthony, I would be interested in your "enhanced workout". I am having the same questions about one rep being enough. I sometimes get a better number on my...
Hi Folks, I just joined this little group. I have been reading quite a few of the messages and like everbody else I had the same problems setting up the...

Very thoughtful comments, and I agree with everything you said and have the same questions in my mind as to whether John REALLY changed his mind with respect...
Hi all, I am interested in Static and Max Contraction training and specifically the explosive fitness products. I have used convential strength training for a...
That is a great price for the old equipment. I'll let others answer your exercise question but I just wanted to say (as a woman) your girlfriend will love SCT...
