I did a search on this type of training and couldnt find anything.

I just want to post some results a buddy and me have gotten on this type of training.

I bought POWERFACTOR TRAINING by Sisco and little. I read it and thought it made great sense. 4 years later I decide to try the routine. Its a 2 way split. You start to train 3 days per week then incorporate rest days when needed untill I am currently resting 3-4 days off between workouts. My strength has skyrocketed like crazy. Muscles are harder. Im up about 10-15 lbs. Could be fat as well, cause I wasnt raelly watching what I eat. I actually injoy these workouts. Most reps are 10-50 reps. Movements is about 2-4 inches at lockout. Trust me, when I read this I was like whatever! but i am getting some decent results. best of all Im not getting smaller or weaker and I now train 2 days per week.

Just wanted to know if anyone trained this way exclusivly and had any good results.
 
Never tried the program you are talking about or heard of the people who came up with it. But sounds like you were ready for a change or even maybe overtrained changing it up every so often and rest helps alot. Never to old or late to learn something or try something new unless you are competing stick to what you know works then switch it up. Interesting though. MM
 
A misrepresentation of physics

Studies have shown that strength is specific to joint angle. This means the strength you have when your elbow, for example, is bent 10 degrees will not be the same as when it is bent 45 degrees (or anything other than 10 degrees). This is due to the change on the length of the moment arm as you move a joint.

Sisco has said that the "gains" you make using Power Factor will transfer into gains in all ranges of motion. This is not true. He has also parroted Arthur Jones' (of Nautilus fame) statement that muscles recruit the greatest number of fibres whne most completely contracted. Both he and Jones are wrong here - muscles recruit fibres according to load - more load, more fibre recruitment.

The "power factor" that you calcuate can be manipulated to give huge numbers by simply using light weight moving fast. Trying doing a 135 bench in your "strongest range" as fast as you can. Yuo'll get 100+ reps in less than 60 seconds. Think this will build anything?

I met Little at the 1993 Olympia in Atlanta when he'd first dreamed up this idea. We tried it for a number of months only to find out we'd actually lost strength when returning to our regular routine. Here are another couple of writeres that are only writers and not scientists, researchers, or experienced competitors. I don't know why I thought they knew anything about training.

Gald you're making gains, but most likely they are simply from doing something new, and different, as Massmonster has pointed out - not from the ideas in Power Factor.
 
never found that there is much carryover to full range lift nor ....appreciable difference in muscle ...development...

i do think that it may give you more confidence to handle heavier weights however...i.e. heavy walkouts for squat...
