Static Contraction Training (SCT)

Static Contraction Training is a training principle vastly different from traditional weight training. Whereas during traditional weight training we lift a weight through a full range of movement, in static contraction training the lifter holds a very heavy weight (between 30 and 100% heavier than their usual weight) at a point of maximal contraction and maintains the position for a short period of time, usually no longer than 10 seconds.
