" The reason I asked, is because there's no mention of " reps " on the exercise chart. Best, Tim --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Just a clarification. The manual does not say multiple holds. Rather, several full-range, non-hold reps, and only the last rep is held for seven seconds. This is the section in Intensive Training. To quote: " Isotonic Exercise: Perform a series of 6-8 repeats, slowly exerting and relaxing the pressure. Hold the pressure on the last repeat for 7 seconds. Performance of a second series will accelerate your results. Isotonic training gives extra benefits in endurance, stamina, and muscle coordination. " (page 57) As for actual studies, I, too, am not aware of any for isometric exercise, but this type of pre-exhaustion/warm-up is common in weight training. Gerry Quote
