POF Training

[VicTusDeuS]

Theres this thing I was looking at in Ironman magazine. It was an ad for POF training. Stands for Position Of Flexation or something like that. They have these testimonials by people who did it and said they gained alot. In the part where subscribers write letters, someone wrote something about how it worked as well. I was thinking about buying the videos , theyre only 30$....anybody hear of this and if it works???

if you do 800-1000 pushups a day, you could get great gains!

But who wants to spend an hour a day humping the floor?

is that what POF is? Someone please elaborate.....

for example....look at anatomy, and the function of muscles( kineseology).

when you go into the gym say "ok I am going to work chest"

the chest has 2 functions .......a pressing motion, and a flying motion.


theoretically, if you fatigue the muscle through those planes of motion, you will get a huge chest..assuming your rep scheme is adequate.

same with other muscles

omega is right - or rather, I agree with what he just said

Thanks....


you know my chest never grew off conventional programs....

I used to bench 225 for 4 sets 0f 13

and my chest grew slighlty.

then when I took time off a came back......I did some pushups and cbl flys......and bam........instant chest..I was like what?????/



well I got stonger since then...but my workout is bacically the same, buit instead......I do

db flys.......4-5 sets

and then incline db 4-5 sets.........sware to god you can get a huge chest of just those two exercises.


a bicep POF workout would be like this.....


preacher curls 4 sets

rope curls (hammer grip) 3 sets

reverse bb curls 2-3 sets.


back---- pulldowns 4 sets

hammer strenght rows (1 arm at a time) 3 sets.

shrugs 2 -3 sets

reardeltopids. 2 sets

POF is a viable concept and is basicly that each muscle group has three ways, or positions where the muscle has its greatest contraction, the stretched, midrange and the contracted positions.
for example, the bicep would include a preacher curl movement as its stretched movement where the muscle is being worked hardest when lenthened, the midrange would include a barbell curl where the most action is during the concentric phase during the middle of the exercise, and the contracted positions as in a concentration curl when you squese at the top.
