This channel deserves more attention. I am a physical therapy student, and I have to say that most fitness people on youtube are yawning piles of bs. I like that you do not talk in absolutes, actually admit when you are not sure of an idea, and are constantly looking for new ways to train. More tools, more methods, more results.
Matt it's called age. I have always looked and studied history and never threw away what had potential. The wheel has been around for a long time but just improved upon. I feel that's what you do and why I consider you the best.
Wow, I've been doing these already! I prefer just doing the movement with an unyielding resistance. The pull-up one is clever, I'll definitely use that one. I just call them Grind Isometrics, because I'm basically doing a main compound movement, but with a nylon strap.
Pull up alternative; One gymnastic ring or looped small belt etc etc etc. 1. Lift ring behind you head 2. Grip with both hands 3. Try to rip ring apart I recommend 1 minute all out, (single rep)
I have been doing this for a long time, how long I can't give an accurate time. But I knew you would come around with it as you always do. Like I have said before you are my only authority that I totally rely on.. at my age this is the only way to train. Over the years I noticed I got very little out of yielding but a tremendous amount out of overcoming. Just call it RDP isometrics
Overcoming isometrics upgraded! Thanks Matt for bringing this up, it's been very effective and soothing as the recovery is faster.. Will try this Super Isometrics style soon!
Thank you so much . I never understood how to execute planks till i saw this video i thought planks were Shoulder killers and avoided them . The Grind & Yield Isometrics You perform have really taught me a lot.
happy to help, and yes doing them this way is certainly a game changer for how the exercise feels. It makes it much harder which is certainly a good thing.
Outstanding advice on making the isometrics harder. Yup, as you tire, your overcoming isometric turns into a yielding isometric. What do you get out of this? A far shorter duration (a 5 minute yield can be reduced to a minute), and far greater tension than a yielding isometric alone. Again, fantastic training advice.
"isometronics" is the label the presentator was searching for. The concept as presented here was popularized by Bill Starr (trainer not athlete) during the 1960's.
@@trevbarlow9719 Dr. John Ziegler invented the protocol of isometronics that he initially experimented with on athletes of the famous York Barbell Club. Bill March was his 1st guinea pig & he became a weightlifting legend in his own right. The basic tenet of isometronics is a heavy load 85% of your max in a select arc position. The weight is moved 6 inches & stopped by the power rack pins then held for 10s for a total of 3 sets. Nothing has outshined its effectiveness for building limit strength save Carl Dietz's triphasic training.
I have already been doing this. It's pretty awesome. In fact while doing plank if you come on the absolute tip of your toes the entire weight shifts to your palms, and if you squeeze after that you feel a superior contraction on the upper back. Big fan of your work by the way.
Isometric exercises are very underrated because, for bodybuilding purposes it’s not essential, but in martial arts and athletic sports it is essential.
That squeeze movement for the plank and the bridge has been around for at least a few decades. I can't remember where I picked it up, but it's certainly not new. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't used them consistently because they're so brutal, but that is about to change! Your hybrid exercises with the strap are not something I've seen and may be original. They are certainly an interesting twist and look well worth trying! I love the way that this channel is so open-minded and constantly searching for smarter ways to exercise. So many RUclipsrs are dogmatically peddling some macho bullshit as the Only True Way...
This is how they were able to get people to convert to Catholicism during the middle ages. I guess you could do that with a wall sit or headstand pushup which I am definitely no where near.
Matt, I love your channel and following the journey you've been on. Thank you for leading this movement. This type of isometrics reminds me a lot of "static contractions" which Tony Robbins talks about some here: ruclips.net/video/4_OJdeWacFo/видео.html Not sure what the specific differences are though.

Thank you for the support EI-Ad Cohen, I sincerely appreciate it and will work very hard to continue to bring more value to you through this channel.
Interesting hybrids. I'll try it out tomorrow.

I've heard of this age thing. Looking forward to it myself ;)

Grind Isometrics has a nice ring to it, thanks for the suggestion and if you have any other ideas on how to apply these I would love to hear them

How about “staTIC” (Tethered Isometric Conditioning)..?
I think that's clever.

I'm not surprised you've already been using this Reg, you always seem to be quite a few steps ahead of the rest of us with stuff like this.
Good stuff as always Matt, will try this new twist in the morning!
Overcoming isometrics upgraded!
Thanks Matt for bringing this up, it's been very effective and soothing as the recovery is faster.. Will try this Super Isometrics style soon!
You're right, the recovery is quite quick. It's also easier on the joints too.

Woo hooo! What a burn! I can't wait for the book
Amazing work Matt! Thank you for sharing! 👊
Thanks Alex Gil for watching :)

That's crazy kus I thought this up a while ago, can't wait to try it when my back is better.
Great ideas for combining yielding and overcoming isometrics! Genius idea!
Thanks Chris DiPeri!

I've read the same thing in a forum, where someone was citing Starr in order to support the claim that isometrics are effective in strength building.

grind-style-o-metrics 😊 great content 👍
Revolutionary as usual dude
Thanks for watching Average Joe, Looking forward to showing you how these exercises work with my latest edition of the grind straps.

Great tip! Thanks rohit!
How do these incorporate the yielding part ?These look like 'pure' overcoming isos...
Isometric exercises are very underrated because, for bodybuilding purposes it’s not essential, but in martial arts and athletic sports it is essential.
Great vid! Thanks for this...very innovative.
Thank you for watching Blake, happy training!

Have you tried isometrics with resistance bands? CRAZY pump
Cool video! On the strap for pushups I think I prefer it under the arms of that makes sense. It doesn't want to move as much. Anyway great video!
Yea, i keep going back and forth between the two positions. Either way, you shouldn't feel like the arms are pushing the strap off to the side.
You are the Alton Brown of isometrics
That looks like a TRX strap. Yay I can make some use out of mine now :D
It’s muscle control plus iso exercises, so it’s muiso exercises
Straps with iso!
Overyielding isometrics
How Combining All In One, Weighted(Weight Plate+Resistance Band) Yielding Isometric and Overcoming Isometric.
Genius! Is there any updates on your next book release?
I'm just finishing up the first draft now and then it's off to the races when it comes to the editing and image creation.
@@RedDeltaProject awesome, looking forward to it

Combined isometric
Hybrid isometrics?
I like that, simple and perfectly descriptive.
UltraIsoMetrics
Very creative, it has a nice sound to it.
maybe combination isometrics is a good name for it
That is good!
How about Hybridisometrics as a name?
Stop isometrics, Lock isometrix, or why not Max isometrics.
I like that Max Isometrics, has a nice ring to it.
Definitely overyielding
perfect! that's what I'm using from now on. Thanks!
@@RedDeltaProject 😁
Hybrid Isometrics
Definitely a great name for sure, I think I may go with that one.

OVERYIELDOMETRICS
Schifferletrics 😂
I think that was used during the national spelling bee at one point.....
Dynamic > isometric
Nice! I have some fun workouts where I go from one to the other and they are killer!
RedDeltaProject yes I’ve seen them they sure seem very killer isometric in my opinion is great for stability
RedDeltaProject thank you for always putting out quality content
Age is ok if you learn from it EXCEPT all the injuries of your foolish youth come back to haunt you. So you learn to adapt.
