Book Review: Static Contraction Training by Peter Sisco

I cite Pete Sisco a lot. He has several good books out there. Among them is this one: Static Contraction Training. This book exposes the falsehood of the old mantra of full range of motion exercise as being necessary to derive maximum results. I’ve used this technique myself and with many of my clients. It is an excellent tool for people wanting to add muscle as well as a great technique for delicate rehab or post rehab patients. Oddly enough, being in gyms all day, I find it hard to squeeze in workouts, myself. If for nothing else, the time value alone saved with these high intensity, but brief duration workouts, is worth the price of the book.
