Hey Friends,

I received an interesting e-mail stating, "Mr. Peterson I have Harry Wong's book and a few others that teach body weight and self resistance exercises. I have had great results with all you recommend and teach but I must say that I have been surprised to discover that your books and this forum are the only places that teach the FMT concept and that advanced people should be doing fewer repetitions than beginners when they are practicing ultra intense muscular contraction. I'm curious why is it that you, Greg, and Gordon are the only people on the internet teaching this. As I have already stated, after reading your forums and practicing your methods, I'm getting fantastic results. I think you are really on to something with the concept of Focused Muscular Tension." ---JDS

Hey Friends, I'm going to state something that some people may not fully appreciate. The reason other people don't teach what we teach is because they flat out do not know what we know. That's the truth straight up.

As my buddy Hank Hutto says, "IT IS WHAT IT IS."

Anyone that has done the M7 Tiger Exercises or PYTP Chapter 3 Exercises understands!

Over the last month or so I have gone around to a few other sites and kind of informally introduced the concept of FMT.

What I learned was very interesting.

The people that have the ability to understand FMT immediately pick it up and embrace it,but those that don't get it initially are never going to understand it -it is just over their heads.

Some people can deal with tangibles and absolutes,but when you start to deal with intangibles and mental concepts you lose them.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with this Gordon.

When I initially encountered DVR’S/FMT, it was when I first found PYTP. Back then, I just plain didn't "get" the concept at all.

Fast forward to when M7 came out, and after getting the book, I was immediately able to perform the exercises with what seemed like little difficulty.

Personally, I think that over time our minds "adapt" and change as much as our bodies do. And, as a result, I wasn't "ready” for DVR's/FMT at the earlier time.

Rob, I can see that the way I stated it was probably not the clearest way to portray the meaning that I intended.

Learning to use Focused Muscular Tension is a self teaching process where you acquire the ability by application and self discovery and not by just absorbing information.

It is really a process of unlocking your inner potential.

People who reject the concept entirely upon first mention don't have a chance of developing the ability and since interest many times indicates aptitude they probably don't have the ability either.

That certainly is different than your approach as you kept your mind open and kept exploring the possibility until you found what worked for you. Gordon
