Talk:Dynamic Tension

message: Dynamic Tension is referenced in the book Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut both of which are Big Deals and have their own pages. Should there be an in popular culture section with a link to those?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quixafizzle (talk • contribs) 01:30, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

message: His attack on white bread was pretty radical for the 1920s.
This may be true, but doesn't have much to do with dynamic tension.  ^_^  --Starwed 21:51, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not an article on his body building program, but on the specific type of excercise.  As such the line about bread appears to be a non sequitur  Also, check your punctuation...  ^_^ --Starwed 16:23, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Charles Atlas, Ltd. ownes the trademarked name "Charles Atlas" and "Dynamic-Tension".  Mr. Charles Roman coined the term "Dynamic-Tension", who was the former President of Charles Atlas, Ltd..  
The exercises combined with Mr. Atlas's teachings and photos of him preforming the "Dynamic-Tension" exercises are what makes up "Dynamic-Tension".   ````
Added Charles Atlas as a category since he is the reason for DT  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Docclint (talk • contribs) 17:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Charles Atlas and Successors

message: Although this article is interesting and has potential, I removed a fair amount of SPAM. I get the feeling that this article was created to promote the idea of "Dynamic Tension" and direct readers towards web sites which sell materials designed to teach this form of exercise. In addition, the article cites no sources whatsoever and is written somewhat in the style of ad copy. I think that some of the editors with an interest in this article should make an effort at becoming familiar with Wikipedia guidlines and policies such as those I have listed below:
*Help pages
*The five pillars of Wikipedia
*No original research
*Spam
*Civility
*Three revert rule
*Manual of Style
*How to write a great article
*External Links
*Neutral Point of view

message: A version of the paragraph below has been repeatedly added and deleted from the article.  Neither the editors adding nor the editors deleting the paragraph are giving their reasons in the edit summaries.  Rather than continue this low-grade edit war, I request that we all discuss its merits here.  Lay out the pros and cons and then implement the consensus decision.  By the way, I'm the one who added the "citation requested" tag.  If the paragraph is kept, it's important to know the source.  Thanks.  Rossami (talk) 13:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: user:Docclint's recent comment in the section above also asserts that this section is unsourced and unsourcable.  Rossami (talk) 21:21, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

text: That is a very serious allegation.  Do you have any proof of your claim that the external source cited make up the quote?  Can you, for example, demonstrate that the quote was not on their site until after the Wikipedia version?    Remember that it is not Wikipedia's place to arbitrate right or wrong.  Encyclopedias are, by definition, tertiary sources - we summarize what others have written on any given topic.  If a fact has been published in a reliable source, we may generally rely on it.  If there is published debate on a part of the topic, Wikipedia should neutrally cover the debate.  If a popularly-accepted quote is untrue, we should provide the cited evidence to debunk it.  What we may not do is remove content in an attempt to cover up a dispute.  Rossami (talk) 16:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins of the method 

message: The A&E biography of Charles Atlas has footage of him doing some of his Dynamic Tension exercises.  His exercise regiment is, in fact, a combination of calisthenics and isometrics, but, that is, isometrics in which other muscles provide the resistance, meaning then, its not "true" isometrics.  To avoid confusion, please reference that DVD or video.

message: Not only does it read like a script for an infomercial, I read the entire thing and every source and still have no clue what it even is.
