MIT - Measured Intensity
Training is more effective than todays most popular conventional muscle
building technique called High Intensity Training (HIT) or even Static
Contraction Training upon which it is founded. Developed by Shawn
Bennett, the leading Fitnes Trainer in the world for this new discipline,
and for 1 Rep Gym that instantly and contineously measures
the user's effort, allows the user to exert their Maximum Effort without
having to anticipate how much weight to put on the bar or weight or
spring band to pin on a ROM exercise equipment. MIT protocol only
requires 1 (rep) exercise , for which we're named, per muscle group
of only a few seconds duration to maximally stimulate muscle growth.
It doesn't require spotters and minimizes injury risks by only being
used in the safest position. A complete body workout requires less
than 2 minutes of exertion.
SCT - Static Contraction Training. Developed by Pete
Cisco and John Little after years of observation and trials. Proven
superior results to conventional training techniques. Based on isometric
principals on conventional gym equipment that required the user to
guesstimate their new maximum lift poundage and to hold it until exhaustion
(that should not exceed 10-15 seconds). If you guess wrong, you haven't
got the most out of your workout. MIT (above) is based on SCT but
refined to allow the user to exert their absolute maximum effort and
have the results automatically recorded.
ROM - Range of Motion. This
exercise regimen is based on the false assumption that a muscle must
be stressed throughout its entire operating range to get stronger
and bigger. To make this protocol safer for the user many fitness
companies designed complex machines (Nautilus, Bowflex, Crossbow,
SoloFlex, etc.) A 2004 study by the University of Southern Mississippi
clearly proved that a muscle exercised in a limited range of motion
developed equal strength as compared to a full ROM exercise. ROM is Dead !
1 Rep Gym is functionally equivalent to the Explosive Fitness SuperRep gym. Used in conduction with Shawn Bennett's MIT exercise instruction will produce equal or superior personal results for you. Any claims presented by Explosive Fitness or SCT users are equally valid for 1 Rep Gym.
