There have been numerous posts on various bodyweight forums about the strength-building properties of Visualized Resistance Training. The expansion (size) factor has been discussed on numerous occasions. Now it is time for strength.
Testimonials, some of which are on my forum, and some of which are posted by Shenandoah on his site, "Zen in the Art of Self-Resistance," and on John Peterson's forum "Transformetrics.com" attest to the anabolic strength-building capacity of this kind of weight-free exercise. One participant did VRT style chin-up exercises, then focused on doing the real thing. He multiplied his ability to do chin-ups 10-fold. That shows strength can be increased without doing the actual exercise or weight training.
I myself did not lift weights for 17 years; when a friend dared me on a sporting visit to a health club to have at it with a bench-press test, I gave it a shot and benched 300 lbs. for nine reps. Remember, no practice had been done for this. None at all. The friend was silent and dumb-founded. He never brought up the 'hoax' factor again.
