thats everybody for your feedback. i looked it up on youtube and you guys responses gave me an idea. i think whomever wrote that just has their own take on it.

and IK do your think wrestling shoes would be good? i did some deadlifts today and i tried to make my stance more narrow and focuse on pushing off with my heals. i actually did good. i know it will be a little test when i get to the squats though

Wrestling shoes would work really well. They're flat soled with flexibility.

I am totally w/ IronK on the flat shoes! They displace the weight over a larger surface, because the contact patch is much more than with running shoes. I personally like wide, skater shoes. I got a pair of NSS's from JCPenney, or Dillards for just under $10. I'm not complaining one bit!

I lift in skate shoes and I think they are pretty good for the money. You can wear them to the gym and out and about and still be comfortable.

I read a book that basicly you do one lift, but hold it for some time to recruit deep muscle fiber thats dormant, or something like that. I might be blowing this out of context.

But thats what I am guessing the 20 rep thing is also used for....
Wish I could remember the name of the book, read it years ago, but my dad told me to stop doing the lifts because he said it does'nt let you use the tendons fully to its potential.

You guys are only cheering because I kept it short

Hey, you know Static Contraction is an oxymoron

Pitysister · 04-10-2008, 01:42 PM
