Want to double your strength? In just a few minutes of exercise time? How??
This 30 minute seminar provides an overview of Rick Sharon's initial experience using the "Static Contraction" strength training technique. After switching from circuit weight training to "Static Contraction" workouts Rick was able to:
- Reduce his strength training workouts from 12-18 hours per month to 20-30 minutes per month with only 1-2 minutes per month actually spent lifting weights.
- Double his strength for several exercises in just his first 1-3 months of workouts, after spending literally just a total of 4-8 reps and a few minutes doing each type of exercise. Case in point: he doubled his leg strength in just the first 4 weeks then doubled it again in the 6 months that followed.
- Achieve better progress in his first 3 months than he had from 10+ years of circuit weight training
- Do all of the above without the use of steroids, creatin, dietary supplements, and changes to diet. The only variable was using a far more efficient and effective strength training paradigm.

Profound Paradigms: Your Future, Your Survival Depends on Them!
