Damn you guys are smart. Stop using such long word you are making my brain hurt. LOL Good thread B, nice argument ZZulu
Accomodating Resistance for Bodybuilders

How does accomodating resistance theory ala Westside differ from variable resistance theory ala Nautilus?

Ya know...I really don't know much about Nautilus or variable resistance theory. I think that many variables must come together and then change often to make one grow...even the WSB principles are based on constant change, but the plan stays the same.
Spatterson, Hannibal...can you chime in here?

What makes you say that? Just curious.

During an eccentric movement muscle fibers are attempting a contraction, yet are stretching. Perhaps this is causing more damage or tension per fiber.

I normally use bands on squats for every workout...but WSB cycles the use of bands on the bench press 3 weeks on then to chains. The chains don't have the negative contraction that the bands do...they load and deload.

Well, the eccentric part of the lift is what creates most DOMS and causes greater CNS fatigue.
"How does accomodating resistance theory ala Westside differ from variable resistance theory ala Nautilus?"
Because the nautilus machines are based on averages which hardly coincide with the VAST majority of trainers. For most people, the restistance will be too big or too small. Machines in general are also inferior in that they render the eccentric part [for bodybuilders, essential] of the lift useless and don't make you stabilize anything. The construction of these machines also leaves a lot to be desired.

Good post, can you recommend the types of bands and general weight ratios they give. Also how are the used, it seems as if everyone knows how but myself... Good point on the lockout, Usually I fail at midway points where the primary muscle action is taken over by the secondary muscles...
