This is one of his books. I was not sure if anyone has heard of this guy before. He does alot with dynamic tension and bodyweight. Actually reading the reviews i think this is all he does.

I think i might order one of his books to check it out he has gotten great reviews from like 30 people.

Never heard of him. He does look in shape for his age.
From the pictures he looks like in good shape.
Personally for me Dynamic Tension ended with Harry Wong many years ago.

I don't know if you will something for money, what you can get here for free.
But try if you want and let us know how it goes.

Dynamic Tension produces muscles trained in only one moment in motion, useless muscle. It's been physiologically proven time and time again. It increases muscle size for a reason unknown, but you do not gain strength, or power, or muscular endurance. Useless.[/b]

I heard that too. Also some of my instructors warned us that Dynamic Tension increase blood pressure.
Don't know.

I have heard of him, and seen this book, but I have seen recommendations and have this one on my Wish List

Looks like a regular book.

Speedy, you are about to move up a rank. :wink:

[speedy]

I guess that's a good thing. The thing that is sad, I am getting more discussion here at times than my own forum. I love my forum, but people don't converse as much there as here, and I run it. What brought you guys here?

I think it's a pretty cool forum. I was looking for something specific to BW for a while. It looks like a bunch of guys got together and put up a variety of exercises the best way they could. Good enough for me. I like it here.

Congrats on your new rank, Speedy.

[speedy]

Thanks.
I personally don't really care for set routines, unless I am shooting for something specific. Instead I look for a set area of muscles I want to workout, and then decide on my exercises myself on which ones to do to workout those muscles. Since I don't know this shit off the top of my head I had to do a lot of research to make sure the exercises worked those areas, and I was not over training other areas.

This is all bodyweight right?

[speedy]

Correct. There is one day out of the week I have done a hand selected exercises, and one consists of weights: this is only one day out of the week. Then I took my routine to someone that knows this area VERY WELL in my forum, and he gave it the thumbs up. I live by this simple rule: if my man BraindX approves, then you are doing something right. Not spamming, just saying if you are seeking "professional"/"experienced" advice, just take what he says to heart! He isn't hard to find at all in my forum.

You are very concerned that people will think that you are spamming. 8)

[speedy]

Because I get shit when I reference shit from my site. So I figure throw it out there. But I guess you can look at like this, if you announced someone that you smell a fart, they will probably think you did it.

[LSA]

I actually have his book Pushing Yourself to power....in my opinion PYTP and ross enamaits book never gymless are the best two bodyweight books on the market(i have also sampled furey and pavel's stuff)...i liked the books so much i threw all other fitness related material away because i felt these two books covered it all...

as far as john's stuff.... DSR exercises are similar to the old atlas stuff and people have used those exersices to build themselves nicely....there's one guy over at the forum for bronzebow that is a professional bodybuilder and only uses DSR and isometric exercises...

DVR's are a whole nother thing together and i think you should investigate for yourself....i believe they are good exercises that work...simple and plain....

i understand that there have been studies or whatever that says the stuff doesn't work...but on brinzebow u can talk to people everyday that use the stuff...all i can say is at least give the stuff a try...they have sample exercises that u can see on the forum for free and john himself posts and answers questions everyday....

if your curious about it...dont let naysayers stop u from rexploring for yourself...i'm not the type to argue about what works and what doesn't...all i can give u ois my personal experience....

no "EXPERT" can tell me what works for me....and i'm here to say i believe the stuff works from personal experience....

[Heff]

I agree, Ive had amazing results with those excersises, Im a hard gainer and in the space of about 3 months my body changed in ways that it has'nt done in years, i feel and look stronger.
You should give them a go at least , My pull up's went from 7 to 12 just through those excersises alone

What is DVR?

[Heff]

Dvr is Dynamic visualized resistance, it's about thinking into the muscle being worked ie : dumbbell curls do as you would but without the weight but visualize it, feel into your bicep tensing it as you go up nice and slow, you should feel a burn on the first one.
Do ten reps on each arm and your see what i mean.

[koltz]

Erm can't you just flex hard ? it isn't that much of a deal really most people do this between sets in my gym

Visualization is a powerful weapon.

Here is what I would love to know.

-One person benches 300 and the other visualizes that he benches 300.
Who will win when it comes to strength test?

[Heff]

I think over time, as you learn to think into your muscle and powerfully contract it, it wouldnt make a differance if you where lifting an actually weight or not, a muscle doe'snt know if you got a weight in your hand.[/quote]

[koltz]

visualization is contributing , but it really won't be anything more then a 1% improvement to your workout and you can never visualize benching 300 if you have never benches near that,
Sometimes I'm fresh and can't do a lot of lifts , sometimes I am sore as hell and I can consitrate into a lift so hard I get dizzy for 5 minutes after it and a bigger headace =\

[Heff]

Fair point i can see where your coming from but that is how i visulize the excersises just to help me along, as i get better i wont need to see the weight ill be able just to think into my muscle and work it out that way and achive the same results as lifiting.
If you look over at the bronzebow fourm it will be explained alot better than i can manage.
I personaly add dvr's into my body weight work outs and there producing better results than when i did BW on there own.
Try them you might just be surprised

Sorry to break it to you but you will never achieve anything by thinking into your muscule , that's bull , isometrics are a different thing all together they can work very well but just imagining (I was gonna use "dreaming about") yourself lifting and flexing hard you will never gain anything , for a muscle to grow you need a load on it , the nervous system is built in a way you can NEVER activate two muscules at the same time to full contraction , if you could you'd cramp to helll and back when you tried

[Heff]

That's your opinon and i respect that, but i will keep doing them because i know they work, i can see the results, but like i said you might be short changing yourself unless you find out for yourself.
