Someone give me their view of Static Training, please.
I am an old school guy, just getting back into training this year, and things imo have really changed in the last 20 years. In my day, you just cracked about 4 eggs, sucked em down raw, ate half a pound of bacon, a big bowl of oatmeal, and chugged down some milk. Then flipping put on your Chuck Talylor's, wrapped some old rags around your hands and beat the shit out of a tree trunk till you were tired. Then you cut and chopped wood for the rest of the day, and after that, you went and grabbed your weights and pumped that shit till the bar sat on your neck and nearly choked you. If you weren't tired after that you went to the bar, drank down some suds, and challenged the other bar patrons to arm wrestling matches or a brawl.
Aww the good ole days where kicking someone's ass was just a part of your workout routine.
Now we got a fancy punching bag in the garage, Nike tennis shoes, Nautilis machines, Treadmills, Hydraulics, Cables, supplements, fancy workout clothes, and cute lil college girls with Exercise Physiology Degrees giving you pointers on getting in shape, and of all things, personal trainers.
The only thing I knew about a personal trainer was my father and him barking at me to chop more wood, or he'd take a switch to my ass.
I think he used to tell me, "If you don't get the lead out boy, your ass is grass, and I am a lawnmower." Usually that was all the motivation I needed.
So what are your views on static training? What is it, and why do you need to work it into your routines?
Here is a link I found about the general idea of static training.
