    This episode is money, love incorporating isometrics since listening to Mind Pump. After the 4th surgery on my knee, my rehab was not working. Then, after hearing these guys talk so long ago about it, I did extra work with isometrics and it changed my life. I appreciate the team and Mind Pump for always opening my eyes to new ways that help me reach my goals.

    As physical therapists we use isometrics a lot because of the populations we treat but I think part of the reason isometrics went out of fashion at least as far as the trunk musculature is concerned is that you already do it with most lifts anyway, or at least your supposed to. You're supposed to be isometrically contracting your trunk musculature during a lot of lifts anyway. And with isolation exercises you're ideally squeezing isometrically at a certain point in the lift anyway. So most people probably just stopped doing EXTRA isometric work as a matter of still getting results without spending extra time in the gym.

    I'd like to add to the SPEAKER/AMP analogy - there's a MISSING component!: the SOURCE!🎶💿(ie. The Record/Turntable or Your Movement Patterns) The QUALITY of the Source might be more important than your Amp🎛 or Speakers🔊. A poor quality source signal could be amplified and sound bad through any speakers. Keep Pumping 🏋🏋‍♂🏋‍♀

    I think over the years the only isometric i often do is for chest and it is not the bottom position when benching but the final squeeze position on a pec machine or cable flys, at the last set i always hold until i cant hold anymore , trying to keep my hands as straight as possible ( you know without bending elbows at the final squeeze position of the movement) and squeeze with my inner chest for 20-30 seconds until i start to shake and fail to hold anymore. Now when i think about it, ppl often ask in my gym what i so for my inner chest line to be that pronounced even on higher than 12 body fat %. I think the many different fly movements and the brutal holds at last set have done this :) Now ill try to do this for all muscles intentionally 😂 it just feels so good for chest so i have done it without even thinking, that has always been my finisher.

Aside from obvious usage and strength differences, I noticed one hip looked bigger laterally than the other.
