Along the way, he was certified by both the NSCA and ACE, and helped set up seminars on High Intensity Training in the mid-1990s. His own training-induced injuries led to his unique approach, applying textbook biomechanics to conventional free-weight and machine instruction. He has presented this material in a manual, Moment Arm Exercise; in a series of videos on You Tube; at conferences for the NSCA, Club Industry, and most recently, Indy HIT (Bo Railey, Exercise Inc, Indianapolis) and HIT Resurgence (Luke Carlson, Discover Strength, Minneapolis); and as in-services for studio and gym staff. Bill's personal interest started with the muscle magazines of the 1970s, which led to Mike Mentzer and the High Intensity approach. He describes his training as "HIT influenced, not pure HIT", because of other resources and activities. In addition to the personal training, staff training, and presentations, Bill consults with individual trainees worldwide. Via video, Bill reviews the trainee's form on the equipment available to the trainee and provides an email or telephone consultation.

Isometric Exercise Equipment - #1 Secret About Isometric Exercise Equipment
Why are millions of Americans and for that matter - individuals worldwide using Isometric Exercise Equipment? Perhaps it is because Isometrics has been rediscovered. Nothing is ever lost you see because physical therapists, strength and conditioning coaches and power lifters have been using isometric training for years.
Why you might ask?
Because the most effective way to increase your strength and muscle size is to use isometrics and an isometric exerciser.
There have been many old-time strongman that used isometrics as part of their workout program. The most famous is - Charles Atlas.

While the Charles Atlas "Dynamic Tension Course" is not a complete isometric workout it does include isometric exercises. Alexander Zass, an old-time strongman used isometrics while in prison. He was a prisoner of war during World War I and was kept chained in his cell.
The only way he could exercise was by pulling against his chains - little did he know that this was isometric exercise. Later on Zass created a muscle building course that used his own version of "chains" to perform isometric training.
The reason why many of these old-time strongman used isometric exercise equipment was because free hand isometrics are pretty much the same as doing push ups with your own bodyweight. After a while, your body becomes accustomed to the same resistance and your muscles plateau.
The Number One Principle In Strength Training Is...
Progressive resistance simply means that you continue to add weight or resistance to the exercise in order to put more stress on the muscle and force it to grow. That's how muscles work anyone that tells you otherwise is a fool.
This is the Secret!
There many different types of isometric equipment on the market today. Here are two that you may be familiar with:
* Dumbbells or Barbells with the aid of an "isometric power rack"
* Exercise or Resistance Bands
In addition, you can purchase an isometric exerciser very inexpensively. They offer numerous advantages over free weights. The main thing with all exercise programs is that you need to incorporate progressive resistance if you are ever going to build any significant strength or muscle size.
This is true whether you're a man or woman -- that is the truth!
