Update On Warrior Power T's

I have started getting back into doing this strength tool. From what I have experienced using them and learning about them I have come to the conclusion that they are the closest to feel like bending a bar or a tough nail/bolt. The reason why I say this is because it takes a full body effort plus an amount of isometric contraction where you are moving at a place thats far lower then regular push-ups. These are infact push-up handles that are designed to not make you strong as hell but also to make your push-ups as difficult as you can get. Whoever says they are easy is lying because if they were easy everybody would be a strength athlete. These have helped a great deal in my bending feats cause of the tension needed to put into the bend for that isometric movement or in other terms Dynamic Tension. When I mean it takes a full body effort I mean what I say, everything from your neck to your toes is contracted and needs to be to pull this off. I'd be stoked the day I crank out 50+ in a row. I would believe the gold standard for these babies should between 25-35 in a row. Another reason why I love these cause they prove that when you need tendon strength they will get you the strength to develop them. I've done 40 or more in a row so far and i'm still shocked at that. I'm a little rusty at the moment with them but after careful and concentrated training i'll be back at my 20's, 30's and 40 reps in no time. Heres the site to look for them:

Bridging!!!!!!

The building of a strong neck, flexible spine and overall body conditioning has never looked more feared yet beautiful at the same time. It is without question the key to an agile body. There are many exercises in the realm of the bridge and all have many great benefits but like all exercises, one must caution himself as the exercises can be dangerous and strenuous if not trained properly. When done with good form and a laser-like mindset, it can take even the lousiest beginner to become a graceful and powerful athlete. The spine is the electricity within the body and when trained can develop off the charts strength, flexibility, agility, endurance and balance/coordination.

VRT Bodybuilding

Like DVRs (Dynamic Visualized Resistance), VRT consists of movements that are based on visualizing heavy resistance such as weightlifting. Any equipment resembling a barbell, dumbbell, machine ect. is visualized in this particular manner by flexing the muscle and moving through a range of motion. Its a powerful method and creates muscle in shorter time without the stress of the joints, tendons and ligiments. For more on this method and Greg Mangan look below.

Alois P. Swoboda

A man very rare you hear about in this day and age. A man of great importance is now shrouded in mystery as well as history. His impact on physical culture is still apart of our everyday experiences in exercise. His level of intelligence is very respected and honored by the people who have read, heard and knew of him. His exercise program is highly similar to John Peterson's DVRs and Greg Mangan's VRT systems. The method of physiological exercise is one of powerful subjects that continues to work even after his death nearly 80 years ago. Today you would almost need to be college educated just to understand the foundation that made him famous. Although DVRs and VRTs are more detailed today, its still an honor to learn where they were based from. Coining the term Muscle Control made sense to those who have the system even today cause after careful practice its not surprising you can control the muscles of your body. Learning this method is the quickest way to learn one's own Physiology. To learn more look at the site below.

Bridging Gymnastics

This method according to Karl Gotch considered to be the best for superior conditioning and its hard to argue on that. Its a series of exercises that can be done by themselves or in a sequence. You start out falling into a bridge then kicking over, kicking back and if you're stud stand back up. This can be done by the following:

Gymnast Bridge

Head Alone Bridge

Head/Hands Bridge

Highly skillful and in complete unison with the body. A few min. of these can bring down the strongest of men.

Stretching In A Gym Vs. Stretching Internally

When you go to a gym and see people stretching, how long do you think they're stretching, 30-45 sec. each exercise yet how long do you think they stretch internally. After working in a gym and the way I stretched learning from Matt, Ed and others it is a huge difference. Now we've all heard the "Stretch for flexibility and lift for strength" statement and in some cases it is true but theres a difference between truth and fact. Fact is that when you physically stretch the mental stretchng must come first and then and only then you will see the secrets to stretching internally as oppose to just stretching physically. I love it when I can touch my knee with my face but I wouldn't be able to do that if I don't mentally pictured and told my muscles to relax. Anyway the next time you see someone in a gym and see them stretch I believe you can actually tell if they're stretching mentally from how they're energies pick up.
