I just started using isometric training into my new style of training it definitely will have you sore fire those fast twitch muscles you never used abs it’s a shock too the body

[@ElleTheScalper]

Can I be strong and athletic using Isometrics only?

[@Chris-ui1nh]

@@ElleTheScalper I've used isometrics for arm wrestling training for years & personal training. They definitely can be used exclusively. I would recommend yielding and overcoming isometrics if someone were to only do that type of training.

[@ElleTheScalper]

@@Chris-ui1nh can I use isometrics for better athleticism at basketball?

[@Chris-ui1nh]

@@ElleTheScalper yeah I don't see why not 🏀 overcoming isometrics might be useful for jumping higher. Also overcoming isometrics like pushing against an immovable object would probably give you more distance with a throw. I would think overcoming isometrics would be better than yielding for basketball 🏀.

[@SlickJarl.]

@@ElleTheScalper Hell yes.
For calisthenics for instance, I would do a minute for push-ups, 30 seconds of regular push-ups and hold it for the rest, I do it for various others, 15 minutes in total.
I’m only 1 1/2/2 months, I can do many calisthenics move, even handstand and elbow levers

How long do you have to use isometric circuits to build strength

[@iMrBigRoo]

The isometric exercise that you can do before or after. Can you do both or is that to much?

[@loulopez554]

Is it better for strength or muscle building?

[@Black_Iron44]

I hope strength

[@dbz_feats7723]

Both, endurance, it really produces strength. Which does build muscle. But low reps at high weight is for building muscle

[@dbz_feats7723]

But you can use high reps for building muscle too

[@dbz_feats7723]

But the main thing for adding muscle is how much food / protein you eat.

[@Sk8daii]

Thank you for the info 🤞🏽

[@123arjunx]

I always thought eccentric was pronounced "eck-sen-trick"...what's up with all the fitness folk pronouncing it as "eeh-sen-trick"?

[@morominaolenmina]

Is isometric good execrises for pec injury and speed recovery?

[@vconsumer]

I believe so from what people are suggesting. Builds the muscles and tendons evenly and stabilizes the structures

[@gabbar51ngh]

Isometric is a great way to find weak points in the muscle and train them.

[@pkab9945]

Can you discuss Isokinetic training? Thank you.

[@omp365]

is it too simple to say the first part of an exercise is concentric? like a curl. would a squat start with eccentric? lowering the weight.

[@m_zero3009]

Anyone here have a bullworker?

[@TheLastStand001]

Yes

[@williamdahl3318]

I had one. Great piece of equipment.
