The Steps to Increasing Muscle Power

Exercises should be performed in a standing position

Training should target endurance, strength and power

Exercises must be multi-directional

What?

Zero G?

Hey Hobbes! What if you strapped your feet down in orbit and then lifted.
What kind of work out do you get (measured by accelerometer I assume) for
starting a mass in motion...then canceling that motion. Especially if
you're attempting to stop it in as little space as possible, i.e., explosive
at the start and controlled at the finish. Hmmm...

I took part in the testing of the ISS "linear range of motion fitness
gadget" at Rice U in 1991. That might be more useful.

But then you would have no resistance. You could "bench" 1000 lbs for
reps but to what end? I guess it would look pretty cool but would not do
much for strength or LBM.

If you weren't willing to take infinite time, you'd have some
resistance. The calculation is pretty easy. With a 1' range of
motion, getting the bar to the end in 1/4 second (moving at full
speed, no stopping, so this isn't really a good idea) requires force
equal to the weight.

Of course you would have to then yank it back as you just added the
momentum to that mass you just pushed on. Might be sort of an explosive
bench back row type action. Hmmm
