This would be the Pete Cisco/John Little thing, right?

Total crap from two guys who's lack of understanding concerning physiology shows in a glaring way in what they write. This is just sort of a logical, yet ridiculous extention of the Power Factor notion that displays an ignorance of physics.

Most of this was offshoots of Mentzer's later work, also misguided, as was SupreSlow and on and on.

The only guy I've seen solve the intensity/frequency problem is DC.

Is that the same thing as a static hold. I use it on the last exercise of a workout on the last set or two. Say last exercise for chest is a contracted movement like cable crossovers on the last rep of maybe the last set you hold teh rep in the contracte postion for 30 sec.

Not a whole workout though.

add muscle or strength, no way. add to freaking killing the joints and tendons and body pains, hell yes. Looks good on paper, but not effective real world.
