2 Types of Isometrics for Athletes | Overcoming vs. Yielding Isometrics

Yielding vs. Overcoming Isometrics
These both have great utility for athletes.
1️⃣ Overcoming isometrics:
Really beneficial for ramping up to a maximal contraction in a certain position.
This can help you build strength at a specific joint angle for example to improve jump performance.
2️⃣ Yielding isometrics:
Involve holding against a load that’s trying to pull you. Ex: Plank, split squat, calf raise hold, etc.
I’ve used these with a lot of runner’s to improve gait mechanics.
In my current program, I’m doing split squat overcoming isometrics.
👇🏽 What isometrics are you training right now?

After I introduced yelding Iso on my training, my athleticism improved to the roof and also my joint and ligaments are so much healthier than before.

What exactly are you doing ? So how can isometrics be used to build work capacity/conditioning ? Like how would you use isometrics, what positions/angles to run a better 100m or 400m or 1500m ?

what does that mean ?@@arianphilips5777

You would want to hit positions that are close to running specific and joint specific as isos make up for the lack of joint strengthing that our sport gives us​@@decathlete2000

I like ballistic isometrics for the fast contract/relax capacity, especially at the eccentric/concentric transitional phases of movements 👍🏼🔥

[@Juliangotknockedlol]

So yielding to increase power And Overcoming to teach the body how to go 0-60 basically

Make more videos on exercises on Isometrics.

Beta Alpha paradigm is false and serves no one. Give it up guy. Life is a lot more transcendent and exciting than that goofy dichotomy.
