  My Current Workout
Aug 27, 2010
The point of exercise is to alter your hormones and metabolism, not to burn calories. I am working out just 10 minutes twice a week now. Of course, we use high technology, like stretch flex or eccentrics, to maximize the benefits of exercise and to promote muscle growth and protein turnover without producing stress beyond a brief, acute episode.
  Flex-Stretch, The Dual to Stretch-Flex Exercise
Aug 7, 2010
We like to make muscle the easy way in EF. Muscle is medicine, for men and women; it alters our metabolism and gene expression, keeps us lean and strong, and creates a beautiful body to carry us through life. It gives us a feeling of self-efficacy which many people lose as they age or grow fat.
  Flex-Stretch, Abs
Jul 25, 2010
I am continuing my experiments with flex-stretch and stretch-flex. Here is how I am training abs now with this new protocol.
  My Body is Changing
Jul 20, 2010
When I say my body is changing I sound like a teenager going through puberty. But, my body looks and feels different. Leaner and tauter and some of the old aches and pains and stiffnesses are draining away as I perfect the stretch/flex exercise method.

I have adapted the research on chronic loading and muscle hypertrophy to do exercise a new way.

I can't believe the results I am getting with my stretch/flex exercise.
  Using Flex-Stretch and IF to lose fat and gain muscle
Jul 14, 2010
For the past two weeks I have been doing flex-stretch exercise almost exclusively. I like the results and can feel a difference in the way my muscle feels and looks. It seems to have a different quality; a bit more taut, more cut, and a firm, strong feel to it

I have mixed this with a little intermittent fasting (IF). My body fat has dropped and the 3 readings I did showed 5.6, 6.8, and 8.8% body fat. 
  202 Pounds at 6.7% Body Fat
Jul 9, 2010
That was the reading on the scale this morning as I approach my 73rd birthday. This is the outcome of an experiment I am doing and of some research I have dug up and applied to my workouts.
  Flex-Stretch, A New Exercise Protocol
Jul 3, 2010
I have been experimenting with a new exercise protocol, which I call flex-stretch. It consists of a contraction of the muscle---the flex component---followed by a stretch of some duration in which the muscle is forced to lengthen. I am impressed with the results and so I am planning a new work out centered on the flex-stretch concept.
