Re: Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy from Statics (Isometrics)

It looks like a very expensive piece (actually 2 pieces) of equipment.  Will it

do anything more than an old fashioned Exer-Genie, which I believe can still be

purchased for around $100-$150.?

Can anyone point me to any studies on static training (isometrics) that measured

and evaluated the following:

- muscle strength gained from isometrics?

- was there a limited carryover to full range due to joint angle training was

done at?

- was there any muscle hypertrophy, or were gains more neural?

- is there an issue with elevating blood pressure when training with statics?
