Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I found an intresting link on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Bully-X-treme-Gym-By-Bullworker-Ent-w-5-yr- Warranty_W0QQitemZ7235067912QQcategoryZ28067QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem I appreciate this guy makes money by combining pete sisco's static contraction training and importing bullwoker super 4 from India. Here is my million-dollar question. Static contraction training states to perform the isometric contraction in the strongest range to involve maximum muscle fibers and by that stimulate the growth. How do he apply this to bullworker training. For example chest press (pressing bullworker by both handle in front your chest) angle is not the strongest range my question is how he converts it. I gained lot of lean muscle with isometrics alone without using weights. But the problem is I have seen strength and muscle gains together only when isometrics done in the strongest range. This is the area bullworker should do some research on how to modify each exercise to perform at its strongest range. It not that how many exercises can be done with the bullworker but how many exercises effectively stimulates muscle growth. Pete sisco has done that but his machine explosive fitness price is beyond the reach for common man like me. Bullworker works where Pete's principle is applied. If bullworker improves in this I am definite most of the guys will move away from weight training to bullworker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have this guys " training program " . I invested $20 and frankly, it was really not worth it. Candidly, there is no research that I have seen that convinces me that the " strongest range " theory of isometrics actually will produce superior strength gains or mass gains vis a vie more traditional iso theory. Ditto Sisco's theory of static contraction, where is this guys data? In fact, it is a fairly well established iso principle that the most complete muscle development comes from doing contractions at two to three different angles of a joints movement. I have not seen this theory contradicted by any serious researcher on strength. My suggestion for those looking for greater mass vs strength development is to read Dr Mel Siff's work on oscilating contraction theory. This invovlves longer contraction holds with varing efforts over the hold. I think this guy selling the extreme bully is kind of a huckster, hey he has my money!
