    I train Isometric Holds every session now after deep research & experiencing it. Is so good like I never see people do it

      Hello Taylor Tiger!
      Without going into major details. Can you give me an overview on how you incorporate this type of training.
      Thanks, Steve

      @saxonsteve I do a warm up. Then do an isometric set before doing a working set. Or normal reps.

    Need more isometrics. I did the Shaolin squats and holy shit everything in my legs works way better than doing weighted squats.

    Everyone is different but for me, isometric worked really well for me personally for building some muscle. I've been doing nothing but push ups and dips as my chest workout, and when holding reps and squeezing them out when going up, it feels amazing. Contracting the muscles as hard you can while counting how many seconds you can last works. I was able to see better definition and a bit of size for my pectorals

    Especially considering now research is showing that muscle damage is not the big driver of strength and hypertrophy we thought it was. Mechanical tension and metabolic fatigue are. Well isometrics do both of those things without damaging your muscle tissue and if you hold yielding isometrics for 30-45 seconds you get tendon strengthening too.
    So you can get better muscle tension with overcoming isometrics and better metabolic fatigue with constant tension to failure with yielding isometrics. Then you can say well going full ROM strengthens the whole ROM except that lifting exercises mostly strengthen the weakest position of the rep on that exercise so even repping with dynamic ROM you need to train multiple angles so you stress different points in the arc of motion for that joint.
    And now for best hypertrophy it’s shown the half rep in the more stretched position brings the most hypertrophy so might as well just do isometrics in the stretched position to stimulate hypertrophy without causing muscle damage.
    Then for functional ROM for life and sport you can do plyometrics and power training like McGill pull-ups style training.
    Basically it looks like we can eliminate muscle damaging exercises and still get bigger, stronger, injury resistant, and athletic so it’s all up side.

    If you worked to failure wouldn’t that last rep essentially be isometric?

    Great as gold this. I can only perform isometric leg training becouse of bad lower back. Legs are in great shape.

    The Charles Atlas system was not isometrics. You have obviously not read it.
