Static Contraction Training

[Legion Kreinak]

Alright, well I'm sick, have been for this entire past week. I was doing some research on other methods of training, other than conventional means. I've found something that interests me, and was wondering if anyone would like to try this with me.

SCT, or Static Contraction Training, is best described by this example:

"If a person stands at attention, his knees are locked so that his weight is carried by his bones. He can stand like that all day with little muscular fatigue. However, if he bends his knees, his leg muscles take over the task of holding him motionless. His muscles are under severe load stress, but they are not moving up and down."

Now, I found this all out here: http://www.teenbodybuilding.com/steh4.htm

It seems like a good idea. I tested it a lil' bit with curls and presses, and I feel as if I just did sets of reps that are typical with weight training. My muscles have that same feel to them, and it all sounds good, so I figure I'll give it a try. How does everyone else feel about this (check the website for the routine and such, it's done Workout A on Monday, B on Thursday)?

the results seem too good to be true, it is sort of like isometric training, stick to your bodyweight training

OK, how's this....here's a direct quote from that site:

" Some exciting things about this program include:

1. Workouts usually last about 3 minutes.
2. After 2 weeks of training you train 1 time a week or less!
3. Each workout your strength will increase 20-30%
4. You WILL progress in strength every workout.
5. You will be able to avoid overtraining and make gains in muscular strength and size unprecedented by natural bodybuilders!
6. On average, during a test conducted by SCRS Peter Sisco and John Little, natural bodybuilder's who had gained 20+lbs of muscle in the past 2 years along with having above average lifts( bench 300, squat 400) Also being an of 32-34 years old, averaged A GAIN OF 25 lbs OF MUSCLE OVER A 10 WEEK PERIOD of training using the SCT(Static Contraction Training) method!!"

Come now.

The sooner you stop avoiding resistance training, the sooner you'll be able to reach your goals.
