    Post these in the workout forum. Check out Static Contraction Training (book) by John Little and he will teach you everything you need to know. Welcome and good luck!

    mentzer's theory behind static training is that since you can handle more weight for a static hold (and even more for a negative) than you can with a positive you are limiting yourself by only exhausting those muscle fibers that are firing during contractive work.

    at any rate you wanna use a weigth higher than you 1 rep max (you'll have to experiement) and hold it at a full contraction as long as possible.

    I believe Peter Sciasco (spelling) was involved in the Static Contraction book.
