SYLLABUS/COURSES

THE MAX CONTRACTION TRAINING SYSTEM (also available on audio CD)
This is THE ultimate training system that is revolutionizing the way people think about exercise. In this course, John Little reveals how you can reach you full potential for size and strength in the shortest time possible.

Little covers such diverse but crucial topics as intensity, genetics in bodybuilding, recovery and growth, training to exhaustion, the proper structuring of exercises and the failure of conventional exercise methods. The perfect introduction to this revolutionary training system.

Building stronger, more muscular arms needn't take years to achieve. With the Max Contraction system, John Little teaches you how to build your arms to their largest possible size with less than three minutes of direct training per week -- for both biceps and triceps! The anatomy of the arms, the time factor, intensity and the importance of infrequent workouts for building larger, stronger arm muscles are covered, along with two Max Contraction arm routines that have been tried and tested at John's strength and fitness center, Nautilus North.

MAX CHEST
Don't waste more precious hours engaged in outdated sets and reps. Learn how 2 to 3 TOTAL minutes of Max Contraction chest work, performed but once a week, will increase your size and strength as quickly as your genetics will allow. The anatomy of the chest muscles, along with complete routines for maximizing chest development in accordance with muscle and joint function are provided, including a review of the fundamentals of Max Contraction Training.

Two back routines that have been tested at Nautilus North and proven effective are presented, along with an observation of the anatomy of the back and how to maximize your strength and muscle building sessions with each trip to the gym.

MAX SHOULDERS
Your shoulders will be thicker, rounder and stronger with as little as 2 to 3 minutes of direct stimulation per week -- if the stimulation is Max Contraction!

MAX LEGS
Powerize your legs with this RADICALLY different leg routine! Learn the techniques behind full muscular contraction and why it is essential in building your legs to their fullest potential. Say goodbye to 2-hour leg training marathons, and say hello to growth -- from only 4 minutes of direct leg work! Leg muscle anatomy, the importance of intensity and specific routines are covered.

BODYBUILDING: MYTH & DOGMA
For advanced students of Max Contraction Training, John Little examines a lot of the nonsense that has arisen in the bodybuilding aind fitness industry over the past several decades and shows why the reasons for embracing them are groundless. Topics covered include the myth of "stabilizer muscles" as a separate sub species of muscle, the myth of the need for supplemental "aerobic" training, "angle training," pre-exhaustion, and many more.

INTENSITY: THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN BODYBUILDING (also available on audio CD)
Every one has heard of it -- but what exactly does it mean in terms of stimulating muscle growth? John explains every facet of the concept with special reference to the Max Contraction System. Learn how to make intensity work for you!

STEROIDS 101 (also available on audio CD)
What are steroids? Are their dangers real or overstated? What do the pros take? What does sicence have to say about their potency -- and their contraindications? Do they work? Can they kill you? A rational examination of the history and development of drugs in sport.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF BODYBUILDING
In 1986 John Little was the first to overtly inject philosophy into bodybuilding by writing a column in a British publication entitled "The Philosophy of Bodybuilding," wherein he used reason and logic to take on religion and bogus training beliefs that were unsupported by science. In this course, John examines the role of philosophy on the scientific method, revealing that science without philosophy is blind, and philosophy without science is meaningless. Attention is given to Aristotle's Law of Non-Contradiction and Law of Identity. While not recommended for beginners to Max Contraction Training, nor for those who simply wish to be told how to train with Max Contraction, it is highly recommended for those who wish to learn to think and evaluate independently and not take everything on faith.
