In this more advanced practice, both agonist and antagonist contract simultaneously - the first isotonically in shortening, and the latter eccentrically in lengthening, in effect they work against each other and create a dynamic tension between the paired muscles.
internal oppositional exertion....is more than anything a mental shift in awareness....such omni-directional mutually cancelling efforts engage the connective tissue web continually, they increase the elastic strength of the frame even while an external observer discerns no apparent movement.Citing the book

This is an amazing book! The author gives the same Wuji-Tai Chi posture secret that I have in my free pdf - and now says the same secret I have as the core of the neidan training.
So in my free pdf - I have the image from his book, Vol. 1. But I looked for the source of this image online. I always credit my sources! But I could not find the source for that image.
Hilarious. Now I have the source. He says the secret it to "tuck and suck" - with the wuju point - behind the navel as the true center of gravity of the body/mind.
