Depends on what your current limiting factor is:
- if you are not yet skilled enough in the ROM bench motion to efficiently utilize the fibers you are able to recruit then SCT won't help much, you...

Of course a key idea of Aikido is to blend with your opponent's force and manipulate it very efficiently. It is possible for a skilled Aikdoka to effectively deal with a stronger advisary. But all...

For information on SCT go to the yahoo group:

You can find out more about SCT at Sisco's web site precisiontraining.com and at the yahoo forum dedicated to people pursuing SCT using purpose built equipment.

I can't explain the science but I know from personal experience that as strength increases following an SCT program one must from time to time extend one's recovery period to continue making gains. ...

"When you hold 500 lbs over your chest in this fasion, the 500 lbs is distributed over your skeleton (specifically your arms and torso) as opposed to your muscles. Your muscles are NOT producing...

For those interested in SCT and particularly in using the purpose built equipment from Explosive Fitness to practice SCT: There is a Yahoo group dedicated to this topic. The name of the group is...

There is a farily active group on Yahoo devoted speficially to SCT training on the purpose built Explosive Fitness equipment.

SCT commonly refers to a system advocated by Pete Sisco which specifies progressive overload using static holds (isometrics) and progressively longer recovery periods as needed to continue strength...

It has been almost a year. I wonder if you have made any progress?

I don't think SCT promises growth "faster than everyone else" it just promises a reasonable return on the amount of time you invest working out. If you look at people in the gym you might conclude...

The main benefit of the machine from my point of view is it gives you a fairly accurate read out of your maximum effort without having to guess how much weight to load on a bar.

Can you give some more information on the Yates reference?

I agree that doing SCT with free weights can be tedious with the loading and unloading. I also found callibration difficlut with free...

I posted to this thread earlier this year. For any one interested I have continued and am continuing my experiment with SCT. I have had some ups and downs but on the whole have continued to make...

Congratulations Sandworm. Keep up the good work!

Sandworm - I am using purpose built equipment: a bar that is fixed in place with a force meter attached so I can see how hard I am pushing. I just push as hard as I can and record the maximum force...

I think the main benefit of doing SCT in the "strong range" is that I tend to be quite stable there and therfore less likely to get hurt. It may be that there is mechanical advantage at this...

I have seen both of these rebuttals. In both cases the main criticism is that PFT over simplifies in excluding the distance a weight is moved from the computation while at the same time needlessly...

SCT with free weights does indeed take time for loading and unloading plates. It was partly for that reason that I bought purpose built equipment for doing SCT. With the purpose built equipment you...
