And about static contraction training, I picked up the book by Peter Sisco and John R. Little, saw the possiblies, but I was very much in doubt as to the scientific studies that were not very scientific. But I held faith, and tried it out. I very quickly discovered that doing these exercises by oneself becomes very dangerous very fast. And then there was the points brought up by reviewers at amazon.com that struck true. What about joint integrity? If you are benching twice as much as you normally would on a 8-12 rep set, and just holding it till you simply can't hold it anymore, something is bound to go wrong eventually. And I don't mean to say that this system is faulty, obviously you've received some benefit from this program, but I was/am forced to be a little leary at this training method. Have you had any difficulties? Stiff joints? Near disasters? Or do you have a good training partner? Any program that I could use to get more with less effort, I'm for. And thus the greatness of LS.

NOTE: I am not berating your system of healthy living. By no strech of the imagination. I'm quite certain your sytem is a whole lot better than mine. i.e., I have no system....

As for the Memory Supercharger, it's a paraliminal tape put out by Learning Strategies. It's designed to greatly strengthen your recall abilities. I've had very good results with it myself and others here have reported strong results, too. Some memories that came back to me were almost as clear as real-life after several days of listening. This was not previously the norm for me. Here's some links that should be self-explanatory and show you what some people have experienced with it.

Brian,
Yeah -- rebounding is great! I'm amazed it's not more widely done, considering the health benefits. It was considered a fad once when cheap quality units were widely available in sporting goods stores. Maybe people dismiss it as a thing of the past like they do with the hula hoop. Maybe it doesn't quite have the marketing 'sex appeal' of the Nordic Track, Tae Bo, etc.

Tim with a T (hee hee),

I’m definitely not a power-lifter like Little or Cisco. I was a runner in high school and was never much into lifting. Also, my tai chi master says that it goes again all the principles of non-action. But, after hearing about the “10 minute a week” workout and the ultra fast results, I said, ‘hey, what the hell, let’s do it’. That was a little over two months ago. 10 minutes a week is a joke! (actually, it’s more like 20 minutes.) I can definitely see what you mean by, ‘it can get very dangerous very fast’. I work out on a bowflex, which makes lifting very awkward, because you can’t get the full range of motion. So, for example, I divide my bench press into two halves. The bowflex is not at all designed for this type of lifting. As far as results, for bench, I was static contracting 160lbs on 9/23 and 9 or so workouts later it was 240lbs on 12/9. I think I’m going to have to move to the gym any day now, because… actually, I can feel my elbows grinding from not so much the stress, but the awkward usage. A squat rack placed over the weight bench (as it should be) would solve this though.

This is another one of those crazy systems that ‘go against everything we’ve ever believed’. Yet, results are results.

Body-type and blood-type based diets? Hmmm. Sounds pretty strange. I like strange things. But, again, it all boils to:

Minimum input of time, energy and money.
Maximum desired results.

If I ever run into either of those books, I’ll take a gander!

Yep, that's right.

Say, you wake up rather early.
Haven't been to sleep yet, meself.
Just finished a ten page paper.
I've been photo-studying up the wazoo.
...actually, I just photoread 2/3 of a semester's worth of reading in a few hours--so I got a little behind in the reading...
It's a liberating experience.
Got two exams back to back in...3 hours
BRING IT ON!!!!

Cheers, LS!

Just letting you know that I am in the process.

Well, on to more intellectual pursuits.... I'd like to go back to the sleep less, live more subject. By brother was telling me about a man who decided to live with a pack of wolves for an extended period of time. As it happens, wolves sleep for a few minutes every few hours, and this man was able to emulate their sleep patterns, though the long term effects were not mentioned. By brother attempted the method this man wrote about in his book (I do not currently remember the title, though I could easily find out) but it didn't work out too well. The two main problems were a) falling asleep right away and b) waking up after a few minutes. Hey, we're smarter than animals, right? Right?

3am. Time to sleep the sleep of angels. i.e. listen to paraliminals till I fall into a contented sleep.

I know this is far from what LS covers, but it's still self-help, so please indulge me.

Sure thing.

Conceivably, I could walk all the way to the university gym of which I already have a free membership—but for a 10 minute workout? Actually, this gymnasium is the second largest gymnasium in the world. The Soviets came over here in the 1980’s and took the measurements. They copied it exactly... except they added like three inches on to the top!!

And you’re right about the inadequacy of equipment—its too short to bother going to a gym, and too intense to do on your own.

As far as what I have gained... I really don’t know much about lifting, as I’m quite new to it, plus it only takes up about 20 minutes per week--a casual affair. If I had to describe it though... um, it feels a lot meatier, like you could sink your teeth into it. Nice and hard. Every day in the morning, I feel my bicep and I swear it feels just a tad larger. I bought a couple muscle T’s and am beginning to like what I see. Also, I like to use my biceps for pillows now instead of actual pillows. I’m very sorry, this is sounding absurd. I don’t know how to measure muscle mass, muscle strength, or endurance. Really, I’m just after the augmented appearance and the confidence that brings.

Well, on to more intellectual pursuits.... I'd like to go back to the sleep less, live more subject.

btw, if you can find the name of the book on the wolves, I’d love to read it.

The only negative things that I noticed with the earlier sleep experiment were these:

Lack of self-consciousness. (which you wouldn’t think would be a problem, but it led to saying and writing things that I would normally screen out.)

Need of an extra meal. (Everything’s closed except for the quickie mart and the vending machine...)

Need for an extra shower, too.

Plus, skip a meditation and... well, you DON'T want to do that. The way the times are designed, you remain on the threshold of sleep debt. I've found 1 hour of delta meditation to be equivalent to almost 'exactly' 3.25 hours of sleep.

Now, if we divide all time spent into three different categories (like in the book, Finding Flow), you have:
Work, Play, and Maintenance.
Regarding “Sleeping less and living more...?” Check this out:

4 Power Ups = 40 min (trampoline, water, wheat grass, breathing)
2 Delta Med = 120 min (with mega-Paraliminals using the brainwave generator)
Closing = 30 min (tai chi / journal / plan next day)

= 3hrs 10 min “hyper” maintenance per day

Sleep = 90 min (can’t seem to get any more than this)
Hygeine = 30 min (dress, shower)
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack = 1 hour (liquid food/condensed food is quicker)

= 3hrs “routine” maintenance

TOTAL = a mere 6 hours maintenance per day

The average body spends 12 hours of maintenance each day. (!!!!)

What does that leave this body?
18 hours of pure, unadulterated, high-energy time. To be used either for work or play.

Then, there is also my little theory on REM deprivation and the spontaneous genius-like creativity that brings.

When I figure out what I’m going to do with my life, I feel that this will give me the ultimate edge. Imagine—just being *capable* of working 18 hours at full energy. Since the sleep is so spaced out, it gives you the perception of perpetual activity, since you're never down for more than 90 minutes. Imagine—to pursue your passions to the utmost. Think what that would mean!

And this isn’t a dream. I did this for a week—last week, in fact. And, looking back, I can see no viable reason not to do again. Actually, just for “reason’s” sake, perhaps I should skip a meditation and get 8 hours sleep instead, once every week?—that’s approaching sane.

(you know, you’re right, this thread has gone way off topic!-–I’m still looking for ways to supercharge the effect of paraliminals—so, if anyone gets any ideas...)

Peace!
