Welcome to Max
Contraction Online, the home page of John
Little and his approach to rational, efficient
education to train your mind and body. In the
world of fitness and bodybuilding, John has been
responsible for no less than three revolutions in
how people view productive exercise. His first
two books (Power Factor Training and Static
Contraction Training, written in conjunction
with Peter Sisco) pointed out many of the
fallacies and deceptions that had become
entrenched as dogma within the bodybuilding and
fitness industries and then offered a scientific
alternative to the issue of building human
strength and muscularity. More recently,
Johns latest book, Max Contraction
Training (McGraw Hill, 2003), has further
refined and improved upon these approaches and
established that productive and efficient
training for the purpose of building human
strength requires a workout lasting no more than
10-60-seconds of actual training performed but
once a week.(more)

AN INTERVIEW WITH
WORLD RENOWNED PERSONAL TRAINER DREW BAYE
Drew Baye is without question one of the premiere personal
trainers in the world. His knowledge of exercise science
and its application to one’s personal fitness goals
and aspirations is exceptional in the health and fitness
industry.
He was a pivotal figure in the Superslow™ training franchises,
leaving abruptly on principle when he believed that they
turned a blind eye to scientific evidence that suggested
that extended contraction times were not as effective as
shorter ones with heavier weights.(more)
The Body
The last half of the twentieth century
marked the first time in recorded history
that interest in building the body and
physical fitness for civilians was
inordinately emphasized. Books, videos,
magazines, audios, internet services,
seminars and workshops, nutritional
supplements, exercise equipment, TV shows
and infomercials have descended upon the
public in a deluge of information. (more)
The Mind
Two of the most important things we can
ever learn or hope to acquire are
critical thinking methods and a sense of
self-esteem. In truth, the latter flows
and proceeds from how effectively and
efficaciously we can employ the former. (more)
The Heroic
The primary philosophic theme of Max
Contraction Online is that of the
incredible human potential for progress
and improvement. To this end, we draw
spiritual sustenance and inspiration from
the achievements of the great men and
women who have come before us and
revealed to us a better way through the
majesty of their own lives and examples.
