Product Description

Get the most from your strength training efforts with Touch Training for Strength. Systematic T.O.U.C.H. Training (STT) is an innovative technique that will give you better and faster results when you use it with your current strength training program.

The clear, practical instructions teach you how to • accurately evaluate muscle tension and detect muscle imbalances,

• stimulate or relax a contraction,

• help delay the onset of muscle fatigue,

• improve muscle sequencing and coordination, and much more.

Use this dynamic, "hands-on" technique and you'll soon see—and feel—the results.
