Static training

Can you guys tell me whether this has any credibility?

I know static training is useful, but this guy is advocating ONLY doing it.

I'm watching a video right now about it, I'll try to get a link of the video as well.

edit - aight, I couldn't get the full video, but here's the gist of it: getthisstrong.vid

"Once we knew full range of motion was not very important in stimulating muscle growth"

tell me how credible that particular statement is.. that'll give you the answer to the whole article.

gotta run, need to do some half-quarter-squats to give me a beastly set of quads.

seriously: if this truly worked as well as they claimed, wouldn't everyone be doing it?

Lifting heavy and not working out 7 days a week works as claimed but hardly anyone does that.

well no, because it requires some sort of effort.

who wouldn't want to get big and strong with 3 minute workouts?

Sounds like isometrics. They're supposed to work pretty well for increasing strength. I've used them before on the overhead press when I kept plateauing, the next time I overhead pressed I could complete the reps. It might have just been a coincidence though.
