I've recently come across an interesting blog post (http://www.jonathanfields.com/blog/b...s-weight-loss/) that quotes a study performed by Erin M. Shackell and Lionel G. Standing at Bishop’s University which states that, by merely visualizing workouts, subjects had a nearly equal gain in strength as those who actually followed a training protocol.

Personally, I feel this is too good to be true on the one hand, and can also provide a rather distasteful excuse for those who are too lazy to go to the gym. What do you guys think? Do you know of this study?

(My apologies if this is old news and/or too sensationalistic for this section)
