Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 > Thanks for your response Jerry. > Your protocol for shoulders looks interesting and well worth trying > out > However for my knees, pardon me asking : > 1) Does 5-6 secs reps mean resisting the load in a particular > isometric static posn for 5-6 secs every rep? Telle -- yes > 2) Do we execute all the 4 posns in a single set meaning a total of > 16 reps per set. Telle -- I do 4 reps X's 5 secs at the lowest possible position taking a deep breath between each rep/effort. Then I move the seat of the leg press back 1-2 holes, rest about a minute and do 4 more reps etc for 2 more positions. > 3) How do we progress from one posn to another? Telle -- Start at lowest and move seat back only to the point that the last position is a knee angle of about 30°. I have been assuming there is no tendon(itis) or ligament problems. > > > Morton > Malaysia Jerry Telle Lakewood CO USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
