    There are plenty of armwrestling videos where a huge guy will get pinned by a skinny guy. The skinny guy who can do this is stronger. Isometric exercise is a real thing, the Russians have been into it for a long time. Great video.

      I mean tbh thats how most people trained back then. they used manual labor to get stronger and as training. Back then they never really trained the same way as we did like the whole eccentric and concentric thing. They picked up the weight and held it and even walked with it, basically like how carpenters lift, they lift it over them and walked around. Stones were lifted overhead, carried long distances, or used in throwing competitions. People in ancient times would fill bags or containers with sand or other heavy materials. The shifting weight within these bags made them difficult to carry or lift, training balance, grip strength, and overall body coordination.

    You did an interview a while back with a dude that did the Isochain only. He lost weight while maintaining all of his muscle mass(which is hard to do when actively trying to lose weight) and that's precisely how isometrics can lead to drastic body recomp changes/muscle density. Steve Justa in one of his books said "Isometrics burn the fat from inside the muscle".

    For me, if I'm getting bigger, I don't care, I just want to improve and be stronger in any shape or form. I rather build my strengh with iso yielding and through endurance than actually lifting too heavy and gasing out of breath.
    Surprisingly I thought I was weighting like 250 lbs cause last time I weighted my self I was like 270, but since then I've lost some weight (just by visual), I was feeling greater, my belly wasn't too much like it was at 270. But I've worked out for like 4-5 months, feeling good, now it's been 3 weeks with a calories deficit of 1500-2000/day. I weighted myself after 2 weeks, feeling I was losing weight. When I weighted myself I was at 283... I was like WTF? lol😂.
    Did I put like 10 lbs + of muscles during those 4-5 months and because before my calories deficit I was probably more than 283 so...
    What do you think?

    El secreto de la fuerza sobrenatural con isométricos está en la respiración. Específicamente en la retención de la respiración en inhalación y exhalación. Esto aumenta los flujos de presión y vacío corporal. Y aumenta gradualmente la energía interna (ki, chi, prana, pneuma). En la antigüedad, las escuelas de energía interna (hoy erradicadas) lo hacían sin pesos, encerrando el conocimiento en sus formas, katas o poomsae.
    A partir de mediados del siglo XVII hasta fines del siglo XX hubo una persecución contra las escuelas de energía interna que enseñaban este conocimiento en sus monasterios (casualmente coincide con el surgimiento del nuevo orden mundial), y todas las enseñanzas fueron corrompidas y manipuladas bajo regímenes totalitarios, especialmente en Oriente con gobiernos comunistas. Por ejemplo, las matanzas de monjes budistas bajo el régimen de Mao.
    Bruce cometió el grave error de empezar a revelar este conocimiento al público occidental, y fue su sentencia de muerte...

    would dense muscle have an effect on flexibility?

    • @NoLimitSquad
      @NoLimitSquad  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yes.This is because dense muscle tissue tends to be less pliable and more resistant to stretching. It can restrict the joint's movement and limit the ability to achieve full range of motion.
      However, something to keep in mind is that flexibility is influenced by various factors, including muscle length, elasticity, and the surrounding connective tissue. Other factors such as joint structure, genetics, age, and training also play significant roles in determining flexibility.
      Honestly, I'd recommend just sticking with flexibility progression in addition to iso so that one would keep both

    After many years I realise what is probably obvious: if you want to have good functional strength, do the activity that you need to train in, ALOT. MileyTyson hated weights and just did lots of pressups throughout the day. Isometrics is a great complement to other exercises cos it's easy to do alot during the day.

    Myofibrillar hypertrophy can also be achieved by taking a set to failure. Also important to note that once you take a set to failure your muscles are done for the day and extra sets won’t make a difference. I train in this style and it works in maximizing muscles, I’ll eventually add in overcoming isometrics to strengthen my tendons further Iike old time strongmen.I want max muscle size, tendon strength and elite level cardio.

      A lot of bodybuilders take sets to failure too (it's a very common way of doing bodybuilding training via dropsets) and they seem to get primarily sacroplasmic hypertrophy gains.
      I've read study summaries where it's conclude for sacroplasmic hypertrophy to occur that effort is more important that weight, so that's why reps to failure with moderate weights, with a high volume of sets, can still build muscle, , so I don't think what you are saying is accurate when you say that's how a person achieves Myofibrillar hypertrophy. Lifting weights relatively close to your 1RM or isometrics, seem to be the primary way, because Myofibrillar hypertrophy is caused by strength gains (to my knowledge).

    I think that there is a difference in the appearance of the muscles, the tone and that density that you are talking about despite it being something subjective.
    But since there is no evidence that you can affect the type of hypertrophy through training, this denser aspect from my point of view is achieved by an increase in the myotatic tone of the muscle, that training that improves the firing rate of the system. nervous, the electrical impulse, keeps the muscles more activated.
    Anyway great video.
