Crux of Doctors Muller & Hettinger findings at Max Planck Institute of Germany

[Guest guest]

I had a debate with a professor at collage on isometrics principles.

He requested me to give the crux of Dr. Muller & Hettinger findings.

With my limited knowledge on this subject I conclude the following is

the essence of their findings by going through their research papers

even though I really cannot fully understand what they say. Please

correct me if I am wrong.

7 seconds isometric hold with 70% of maximum strength 5 days a week is

the best for strength development. They also found one set is better

than multiple sets. With this they found strength increase up to 5% a

week.

Can any one can verify the above understanding of mine is

correct. Please help me if I have left out any of their valuable

research findings. You guy's help is appreciated in advance.

If you go to the links section of this group, you will find a nice

summary of Hettinger's research.

I think you have summarized Hettinger correctly. To my knowledge,

no researcher has ever proven these conclusions to be in error.

Keep in mind, Hettinger was measuring static strength, nothing else.

He was not measuring dynamic strength nor muscle mass.

These attributes are where some other researchers have gone and that

MAY explain what you have seen by way of being confused.

Also, keep in mind that while there are TONS of theories on how to

best use Isos and the BW, not many of these theories have been

researched.

For example, the so called isotonic reps with the BW are simply what

the original manual writers put in the manual.

Hettinger did not deal with isotonic reps, as far as I know.

Hope that helps a bit.
