Max Pyramid - Interesting new weights method

http://www.bodybyscience.net/home.html/?p=824

Quote:

A Max Pyramid set on the Leg Press, then, might look something like this:
1st contraction: 80 lbs x 20 seconds
2nd contraction: 90 lbs x 20 seconds
3rd contraction: 100 lbs x 20 seconds
4th contraction: 110 lbs x 20 seconds
5th contraction: 100 lbs x 20 seconds
6th contraction: 90 lbs x 20 seconds
7th contraction: 80 lbs x 20 seconds

The above apply to holding the weight static at max moment e.g. with the elbow/leg at 90 degrees.

Isometrics can work. They formed the core of the Charles Atlas muscle building system that they used to sell in comic book ads.

This is not isometrics.It's static contractions.Yes,the two are different.
