Sounds gimmicky. I'd like to see the scientific study he tries to quote and then doesn't link to.

Yeah that sounds ridiculous... Basically saying a static hold is going to build muscle...?

I mean, I understand the point behind it. Time under tension and whatnot. I'd just like to see some hard evidence that it works.

So much gimmicky shit when all you have to do is get on a program and lift some weight

I know very little about proper exercise or weight training, but realizing more and more it's all about the basics. If you want to lose weight, you finish every day slightly calorie deficient and you lose weight. Now that I'm starting to show some weight loss I keep getting asked what I'm "on" or "taking". The stupid, dumbfounded looks I get when I tell them I cut my calories in half, and replaced 4 nights of drinking with 4 nights on an elliptical. It doesn't seem to process.

Oh well, I guess for every fad diet/exercise program a few people will love it and get healthy. That's what matters in the end right? That we are healthier and happier.

In a way, the theory kind of make sense in terms of putting on mass.
