lol, Eric i swear i almost put in how much i dislike the "80% nutrition" thing! but i thought my post was long enough.

I think that poster might be confusing 'muscle strength' with 'strong muscular contractions'. i.e. in some exercises the hardest point of contraction is the mid point but it certainly doesnt follow that that is the area where a muscle is at its strongest. possibly its all that bunk in the mucle mags/books that Weider, Mentzer, Jones, Darden etc etc spout off about 'peak contraction' principals and all that is confusing the issue here, i dunno.

"If you could keep the SAME tension throughout, which you can't, the resultant torque would be freaky."

speaking of Jones, isnt that what he tried to acheive with his off set cam design? constant tension throughout the ROM? not sure how much efficacy it actually has but it sure was a great marketing tool and helped sell a LOT of machines! he had some kooky (and some downright dangerous) 'theories' on training but he sure was market saavy and had great taste in women too, lol.
