You can read about it in most fitness magazines.
Looked at your WEB site today. Lots of sales pitches for products, services and advice. In your PERSONAL section, you're even trying to sell YOU as a movie actor. Are you telling us not to read all that stuff on YOUR site?
FYI: Recent hisory shows that people like Arnold, Jessie, Gordon Scott, Lou Farigno, Steve Reeves and others (not to mention all those guys in Arnold's, Pumping Iron)have gotten into movies with varying degrees of success, so good luck. Of course, they're all bodybuilders; not a power lifter or OL in the lot. |
Static contraction, flexing at the top, flexing and holding, body resistance call it what you will it is all the same principle.
I am just saying 20 years of personal experience on top of personlly knowing 5 Mr. Universes of the top of my head + 2 IFBB pros has taught me to go to the gym regularly and stress your body with any method and you will grow. There is no magic except only use the muscle you are training that day.
Lots of sales pitches? 2 google ad boxes, a trial adbrite box and a banner at the very bottom - not too much at all, especially considering the content.
Also I am not selling myself as an actor - I am an actor full time
Though if you have an appropriate role I will sell you on my ability to fulfill it, sales is a very impotant part of life - just ask Robert Kyosaki if you'd like a second opinion.
FYI Charles Atlas made his money with mail order "look like me" books in which he claimed by doing these static exercises everyday you could build a physique like his - the old day equivalent of the adblaster infomercial - it was purely to generate cash. It was using the 2 step pre-qualification lead generation technique. You may remember the ads with the skinny guy getting sand kicked in his face and the bully stealing his girl.
Yoou would send in some money for what you believed was the book of secrets when in fact you got a pamphlet that was supposed to pre-sell you on purchasing the full, much more expensive course.
