SCIENTIFIC & PRECISE
This is the first bodybuilding book to actually take a critical and scientific look at the physiological and psychological mechanisms of the body that operate to preserve the status quo. This really explains why building muscle is so difficult for most people, particularly trainees that have already put on muscle and are looking to go to the final level (which, depending upon their genetics, may not ever be as great as they hope). John Little has done a masterful job of laying the obstacles out on the table and then applying science to overcoming them. The Omega Set is incredibly intense. I used Max Contraction with great success (gaining 14 pounds of muscle) in the past and am just starting to experiment with the Omega Set. It is definitely "the last word" (Omega) in high intensity training. The Nautilus North Study is must read material for all personal trainers.
A must-read for advanced bodybuilders
As a bodybuilder becomes more advanced, progressively increasing resistance is not enough. Further progress towards one's genetic limits requires the use of even more demanding repetition methods. The Omega Set is about as demanding as they come.
Advanced Max Contraction Training explains the science behind muscle growth and the development of the Omega Set, how to overcome physiological and psychological barriers to progress, the results of the Nautilus North study and several case studies, how to combine Omega Sets with Heavy Duty training, and more. It is a must-read for advanced bodybuilders serious about maximizing their muscular potential.
