Guys I came on here looking for opinions and I did it half ass. If you know the forum professional muscle I have been there like 3 years. I am not spamming.
Any way all I want before I get too involved is your opinion on these machines. It basicly is overload training. 500 squat on the way up 650 on the way down for example.
This is the link to the scientific video on U-tube. Just tell me if it is total crap. I have fallen in love with it, but agian…I have loved some stupid stuff before…
I can’t get the video to load, but from the description, it just sounds like a more modern version of the weight-releasers that have been around forever.
Certainly a valid training technique and one many have used with much success. It’s not the end-all-be-all, but I think it could have a part in a training program.
Sorry but I will stick to bands, boards and chains.

What if you’re making good use of it and we say you’re a moron for liking it? Would you quit? I can see wanting to bounce things off of others, but if you’re making progress with it that’s all that should matter.
Like these other 2 guys have said the idea of weight release, bands and even progression with chains is essentially the same basic thing, but I happen to think this is a cool implementation of the principle and could see myself working it into an overall program here and there if I has access to one.
This is why you need clear, measurable performance goals in your training, whether you are a competitive athlete or not. If you have these, you don’t need to ask what anyone thinks of a training method or means. You get your own feedback and know for sure.
Yeah I realize you are right. Thanks for the advice on that. Yeah I am getting more results then before my injury which is great thanks for the advice!
I think it is also because I am giving my self some more time to recover.
Just for shits and giggles if you like here is my training program
