  • The 'trick' for success at any accomplishment is TIME & EFFORT. Thinking, or acting like you're trying your hardest, ISN'T the same as -actually- working hard. Compared to your intensity of effort, the tool choice really doesn't matter: If you really work hard for 20-30 minutes, (or as little as 11 1/2, outlined below), you should be FRIED , whether with weights or statics. If you aren't panting like a dog, barely able to move, swearing you'll never work out again, you didn't work hard enough.

  • 3 min total isn't going to do it all for muscle, strength, & condition. 6 compound exercises: chest press, shoulder press, pulldown, row, leg press, & straight-leg deadlift, pushing & pulling movements alternated), are all you'll ever need for a lifetime. With the 90-second protocol outlined below, & allowing 30 sec for each position change, you have an 11 1/2 min workout, which will shorten as positions become more skillfully changed.

  • @d:Exaggeration & fraud has been perpetrated by many isometric-related business interests, but isometric exercise itself is proven to have a meaningful place in exercise. One problem is measuring progress, which the 1RG strain-gauge solves. Another problem is maintaining exact limb positions workout to workout, which the precisely machined 1RG adjustments solve. It's built to last a lifetime. The protocol recommended with the machine's not to my liking. See the post below for my preference.

  • This is the greatest load of bullshit currently in the fitness world. Right up there with shake weight and magnetic bracelets.

  • Ch48: "The Renaissance of Exercise"(Ken Hutchins): "Timed Static Contractions": An article Hutchins has refined for 17yrs, a concept he's experimented w/for 27yrs. His timings are completely at odds w/the typical short sets: 25% effort for 30 secs, 50% for 30 secs, 75% for 30 secs, & 100% for 30 secs, totalling 2 minutes. This is now modified to a 90 sec set / 3 levels of effort. This is a safer & more productive protocol than the short bursts currently in vogue among static devotees.

  • @stevensashen thanks Steven!

  • @TheCausticGnostic go to 1repgym dot com

  • Could you give me the URL of the company that manufactures this machine? I would like to purchase one. If you can help me locate the company, thank you.

  • Ken Hutchins' "Renaissance Exercise", (a book & a company), & "Renex" machines have taken exercise to the next level: 1/The pieces are hailed, by every expert who's tried, as a huge improvement over MedX. The design distributes effort so evenly in full-ROM compound exercise that pre-exhaust's obsolete. 2/ Timed-static function w/an elaborate computer precisely monitors & records static progress. 3/Focus on the "squeeze" incorporates benefits of statics into full-ROM exercise. I can't wait.

  • After 1RG exclusively for years, I added SuperSlow workouts on MedX machines. 1/The 1st session gave me DOMS as if I hadn't worked out before at all. (This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I thought it might not happen.) 2/ SS's metabolic conditioning & cardio effect is much stronger than statics'. 3/ SS doesn't help my best #s on 1RG at all. These results indicate to me that both inroading,(SS), & tension,(1RG), are essential for complete strength training.
