An Introduction to: Static Contraction Training - The World's Fastest Workout Kindle Edition

Have been using the principles of this author for 12 years now. Excellent. Had gone to gyms every two days, now I go every 3 weeks and I am 3X stronger in 10 exercises. I was forced into this by starting to live in an RV and travel around the country. I would not go back, even if I had the opportunity. Now 1.5 hours every three week, before it was 14 hours in the gym every two weeks - and that does not include travel time!!

Science certainly backs this type of exercise and it's worth investigating and learning more about. I use some static holds in my own workouts but they're not to the extent described in this book. Static holds make perfect sense to me since that's when you build muscle.This is a very short booklet and it's intended to be. It's what it says, an introduction. It provides three excellent exercises and lots of valuable information plus an FAQ. It pretty much answers any question you'll have before you opt to try out this program. You may decide it's not for you. Either way, you've not invested much money to find out.If you do decide to continue with the program, you'll want to invest in a book with more information.My issue with the book is that it only promotes going to the gym or working with gym equipment. There is no room for home equipment or even free weights. I do all my workouts at home and enjoy lots of growth and it's very effective. So when an author promotes gym-only exercises or workouts, it's a turnoff to me.Other than that, I recommend the book to you.-- Susanna K. Hutcheson

The book is good in that it focuses on the mind, body connection. The emotions of how the movement feels while concentrating on contraction and breathing. It allows one to not be misfocused on doing too much at one time. It reveals that giving your body a break is crucial to growth of muscles

This brief edition of the actual book is just a teaser and not worth your time or money. The information is good, but you will need the actual book itself for that apparently.

I was expecting more when I bought this. It is a very short introduction with an offer to sell you another book.

Finally... straight, simple, logical facts about naturally building a stronger, leaner, healthier body. Mr. Sisco cuts straight through the muddled misinformation of the fitness industry.

I liked this book, but from what I've read on the web, strictly following this method by itself might lead to bigger individual muscles, but not overall strength. I've used some of the techniques in conjunction with more traditional weight-training methods, and I'm certainly getting stronger. Basically, I do a single set of 5 reps plus a static hold. It's working great for me, and this book helped me know how to properly do a static hold. Oh, the other benefit of the way I do it is that it forces me to use smaller weights. There are people who say that using your static hold max weight, as this book recommends, can lead to injury. I don't know if that's true, but just in case, I prefer using less than my max weight. But all that aside, I think this is a worthwhile book.

I highly recommend people interested in getting “pumped up”read and use this information.you will save a lot of time and put on muscle mass.Steven Blue
