Accumulation Methods - Isometrics as pre fatigue

[@cheriemaceachern9746]

Fantastic advice my shoulders are lagging, I will try this

[@Gabula90]

I’m speechless, amazing channel really

[@MohsinKhanrise]

Best info on internet till date

[@eternalfitness9470]

Absolutely superb insights there Thib! I usually have my fingers pressing on the muscles my clients are working. But this technique is very good and love the way you explained the science behind it!

[@tejaskulkarni2971]

Examples Sounds similar to nucleus overload training

[@michaelriddick4059]

Very enlightening!

[@namirak1]

Very good video!

Isometrics are amazing for shocking the body, especially when you’ve already ‘primed’ the designated target muscle(s). I have a theory that the body builds a tolerance to isometrics (more so calisthenic isometrics) at a lower rate, compared to concentric & eccentric (assuming same load)

Isometric pre-exhaustion is my religion. Great video!

[@rickgorges3936]

Are you doing yeilding or overcoming isometrics.

[@comradecarabao9122]

@@rickgorges3936 I do mostly overcoming isometrics, as they don't require as much recovery time as yielding isometrics do; yielding isometrics give a better pump, but I have to reduce the frequency of my workouts with them.

[@rickgorges3936]

@@comradecarabao9122 That's what i am experimenting with at the present moment. If you don't mind me asking how do you implement them in your workouts?

[@comradecarabao9122]

@@rickgorges3936 I do "giant sets" (within a given muscle) of isometrics for my first 2-3 sets (depending on what I'm working); I work the muscle isometrically from 3-4 different angles with no rest in between the movements for those sets. I rest for 50-70 seconds in between the giant sets. I finish off a muscle/muscle group (after another 50-70 seconds of rest) with an isometric movement, immediately followed by a movement with a full range of motion. I hope I explained that well enough that's it not confusing. Giant sets are like supersets but with more than 2 exercises/movements. My isometric contractions are generally held for 6-9 seconds at about 80-85% of my maximal strength.

@@comradecarabao9122 Great. Thanks for your reply and how you use them in your training. Much appreciated. Going to experiment with them in my own training. I'm sure i won't be dissapointed👍.

That really helps!

[@lupulstroops4389]

IF YOU HAVE HIGH CORTISOL ARE ISOMETRICS BEFORE OR AFTER A WORKOUT OR JUST ON A REST DAY OKAY OR WILL THE BODY SEE IT AS A STRESS ON THE MUSCLE AND TRIGGER CORTISOL.20 SECONDS MAX PER MUSCLE GROUP.SHOULD I JUST DELOAD FOR A WHILE ON THE ISOMETRICS OR JUST STOP UNTIL CORTISOL IS UNDER CONTROL? PLEASE HELP ?

[@rohansimon5307]

Jeez

[@michielbancken1884]

from the moment i started incorporate isometric holds after (normal) sets my muscles became big af. Dont do this with high frequency btw, you will burn out lol

[@AlexMartinez-oi2mv]

Bruce lee did isometric tranin in his work outs thats a secret for building power but he was not bulky
