Re: Think yourself fit!
I would like to know what "twice as strong" means. It conveys a rather dramatic to miraculous change which, one would think, would be seen widely by just about everyone who does very similar exercises. These would be, as the article suggests, athletes.
Why are they not "twice as strong."
If I bench press 240 lbs that mean in a few weeks of imagination I am now bench pressing 480 lbs?
If one uses the standard Queen's Square measurement of strength:
with "Full strength" being what is expected of a normal version of THAT individual. Obviously there is chasm of difference between 4 and 5 which has led to some fudging with +/- on 4.
Fine. What is "twice the strength" in that? That list is rather significant for rehabilitation as claimed since those patients will frequently fall into a "4-" category.
So . . . "twice the strength" is . . . full recovery?
I smell bullshit.

If one uses the standard Queen's Square measurement of strength:
- 0 = no contraction
1 = contractions
2 = movement but not against gravity--basically contraction on the bed
3 = movement against gravity but not any more--raise your hand until someone drops a feather on your hand.
4 = weak
5 = full strength

Re: Think yourself fit!
That's whats implied.
i can see someone becoming slightly 'healthier' by a drop in stress hormones such as cortisol,
which could be mediated by belief, related to emotion centers in the brain, but specific thoughts building muscles with no muscle contraction whatsoever? i first saw this posted on a fitness forum and surprised how many do believe it : /

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
