i don't think that guy can exert a force of 212kg with his triceps, do you?

I'm really struggling to see beyond a guy wearing a crop-top at the moment, but I'll keep with it!

i'm a believer in static contraction training as its something i've been thinking of using, but that guy cracks me up, and the ftriceps figures seem very high for him, but if its true, wow i gotta get myself a set of upside down scales, perhaps he's using kitchen scales to measure his exertion, but i think he got mixed up with kilograms and grammes!!!

Can you not exert a force without actually moving something though? I don't have a sound understanding of force or kinesiology to be honest, but I would imagine we could exert a huge force on an immovable object.

Just try it out on one lift where you have a sticking point to see if it is for you.

Power cages are about the most useful tool for this type of training, benching deads etc, if you have a slow or sticking point then set the guard bars at that hight and knock out a few 'reps' of isometric holds at that hight.

EDIT: I just watched the vid....... LOL..... I see now.

Watching that vid is like picking a scab. It hurt's, but somehow its pleasurable. [:D]
