Benefits Of Transformetrics!!!!!!!

[bennyb]

I had a forum member message me earlier and asked what benefits I have Recieved from DVRs and how he'll know if he has gotten stronger from them. My initial response was the high it gave me after doing some of the exercises and by this I mean more blood flow throughout the body and looseness after the workout. I would some of your opinions on the benefits you guys have recieved. I sent the member back my answer but in addition to mine I would like him to get extra insight about the strength gains you men and women have recieved from not just DVRs but the entire transformetrics system. Now this will sound a bit weird but I'am 24 years old and as of late doing Aerobic Isometrics and DVR/VRTs I have getting noticed by people from work and out in the general public that they think i'm still 18-19 years old. I realize this doesn't sound uncommon but still there are guys my age I've seen that look almost in their thirties and yet I get thought of as still a teen. I find it odd but flattering at the same time. I've always been known not to look at my exact age ever since I was 17. Whenever I go to a casino annd play around I would have my beard grown out every now and then and people think I look 30 but yet when i'm shaved and smoothed out I look like a teenager to many people. I sometimes envy John at times cause he's 56 but from the neck down lol he looks a year older then me lol.

During the recent Olympics in China one of the reporters interviewed the current head of the Shaolin Temple. He demonstrated some of the Kung Fu Tensing Exercises which are DVRs under another name. He said they were really "moving meditation". As such they not only elevate your emotions while you are doing them,but they are also putting your body and your emotions under the control of your mind. You will eventually find that at some point when you make a conscious decision with your mind that decision will also influence and change your emotions. The Kung Fu exercses were originally taught to the Shaolin Monks by Bodhidharma who brought yoga exercises with him from India.

When Bodhidharma arrived in China he found the Shaolin Monks in an extermely weak condition as they were practicing only passive meditation which did not strengthen their bodies. To remedy this situation Bodhidharma introduced dynamic yoga tensing exercises [DVRs and VRTs] which eventually were adapted to the martial arts and ultimately became the Kung Fu Tensing Exercises. I think that you will find the following quote interesting:

"The oldest muscle-building Indian 'Dhandal and Bhasky' exercises differ from western gymnastics primarily in that they do not consist of thoughtless repetitions but of exercises performed with great interest....we use our imaginations to send vital force to various parts of the body, persistently developing strength, and if we watch our muscles during the exercise or watch them on a mirror , we will soon build a body so beautiful that even athletes will admire it...all we need is a .mirror and fifteen minutes a day. With the system of slow motion exercise, which prescribes no stultifying gymnastics but consists of movements like a game, combined with strong mental concentration, powerful muscles are developed in a very short time."

That original quote is from the book "Yoga And Health" by Selvarajan Yesudian and Elizabeth Haich. It was was published by Harper and Brothers in 1953 and is currently out of print ,but from time to time copies appear on abebooks.com It is the best book on the power of the mind over the body that I have found. The quote above was actually taken from "The Miracle Seven" by John Peterson and Wendy Pett

DVR's more than any of the other methods here really helped me improve the muscle building effects of all my other exercises. They teach you to control your muscles through a full range of motion in natural ways. Often times with other exercises the emphasis is simply on getting hte motion down and not on really working the muscles. I have found that when I can master the muscle control for a certain muscle through DVR's and Isometric flexes then its growth and strength rapidly improve. My chest and triceps were the first to really experience this, i quickly added size and strength by simply doing the same pushups with more a focus on the muscles i wanted worked. Recently I have mastered powerflexes for my Lats and they are seeing new growth from my usual pullups.

Hello all,


I board a bus at 6:30 in the morning for a 45-minute ride. When that bus hits the freeway, most everybody goes to sleep.

I used to use that time for a bit of deep breathing and meditating, but I tended to get drowsy and fall asleep. So I started developing some isometrics I could do, tensing various muscles, doing modified Milo's, even visualizing doorway isometric triceps rises. And I pour my attention into the muscles, the breathing, and power. I try to visualize energy flowing through them as a technique. I visualize inhaling rainbow colors and exhaling dark-brown colors.

I've been doing this for a couple of weeks, and I think I'm beginning to see some gain in definition in my chest, shoulders, and arms. Plus I feel energized when I get off the bus.

Regards,

Alan

Alan, that's terrific that you're taking advantage of that opportunity that many others just see as wasted time.

Two of my very best workout were three weeks ago. I had a 9-hour bus ride from Costa Rica to Panama. I did a full CIC and ISO Power Flex workout...and no one else even knew that I was working out! Three days later, I did the same thing on the return bus trip.

I'm glad that you're already seeing the benefits from your new workouts!

Echoing what Alan said,

Because of the health issues of my mother in law and then her death, within the last 4 months I have driven from Ohio to Texas 3 times, and then another drive to New Jersey and to upstate New York. Additionally, my drive (until recently) was 1 hour each way.

I started practicing isometric breathing with various forearm exercises. This has kept me unusually alert for these drives, and more refreshed than ever at the end.

Hrmm, My breathing tends to be quite loud and labored when i do isometrics, I'm not sure if i would be quite as confident as you fellows in doing them on a crowded bus. All the more kudos to you.

Yeah, I do try to breathe quietly and in a controlled manner while taking very deep breaths, especially if there is a pretty lady around.

I don't want anybody to get the wrong idea, you know.

I don't do them in a crowded bus -- but in my car.
and if I am driving with my wife....well...I wait til she is asleep:snicker:

If I did my noisy deep breathing in public I'd probably get arrested or institutionalized . I'd certainly awaken a sleeping partner.

You never know. The heavy breathing may attract somebody that you would like to meet. Life is full of surprises and you have to keep yourself open to the possibilies [synchronicity].
