Question to ALL of you (Moderators too)

PdaCruz Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/06/11	2003/06/26, 11:19 AM What do you folks think about this: http://www.criticalbench.com/fastmuscles.htm I have not order it and have no idea what this is all about. I also dont promote this guy (dont recommend to buy this stuff) I just want to know if somebody had experience with it or a similar advertisement (to me it seems like a ripp off to get 60 bucks out of our pockets, since he creates a great peak of curiosity, but never tells what his programm is all about...and to be true: its a bit weird to train only 8 minutes every 3 weeks and after all press 400 pounds....seems like exagerated). Would appreciate your input on this one. Greetings to all of you. Pdacruz.

Don't waste your time or ours kid on gimmics like that. $60 dollars for the cost of an email transmission...jeez I wish I could have thought of that one. -------------- Contrary to popular belief, bouncing the weight does NOT work the muscle...huh...who\'d a thunk it. ~Dick

How many infomericals do you see on tv claiming to get ubelieveable results? If they worked half as well as they claim everyone would be fit and this site would not be needed. Another thing go to any yard sale etc and you will find most if not every single piece of equipment or book sold on tv for sale at 50 cents. Why? cause simply only a very small % of people using them actually see results. This is just my opinion. I think they are a waste of time and money.... -------------- Squats are really a very good thing, but in my world, Deadlifts are King!!!!!!!!

Answers like that can make people afraid to ask a question and that would be a shame, I think. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

The concept that they stand behind is HIT (High Intensity Training) developed by Mike Mentzer back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. There is something about a 7 minute workout that just does not make any sense. I've tried it and have hut little results, except for joint inflamation.
