There is no doubt about it that static training builds muscle. Research has been going on for many years on the best way to build muscle and often the results are obvious but the research continues to show that muscle can be gained just by using static contraction where you get maximum growth within a short time. In fact if one considers the relationship between time and effort one comes up with importance between the two, one comes up with concept that intensity is inversely proportional to duration. This is something obvious when we look at the size of the legs of a sprinter. If we compare the size of the legs of a marathon runner to a sprinter we see that someone who has a lot of slow twitch muscle fibers or white muscle fibers has less size. Someone who can train for hours like a marathon runner usually has thin lean muscles with strong joint and strong connective tissues or ligaments. The results speak for themselves as a study showed that using a static contraction method; test subjects were able to add muscle quickly.muscle gain bodybuilding gaining weight gaining muscle
