Amen! I’ve learned so much from these guys. They have opened my eyes to so many things that I didn’t know and now have been incorporating in my training and nutrition and have seen amazing results! Thank you guys for what you do and god bless you 💪🏻 #MindPump

[@KnuckleHead1983]

I have a question. My left shoulder pops and has constant pain from an injury I acquired from doing dips. Do you guys have any tips I can do as far as therapy to help heal it? I feel it a lot doing overhead press especially popping. Any advice would be appreciated

[@MidWest_Infamy]

I love how the funniest bit in this entire episode was Justin saying "insect but effective" but then he got ignored so hard. 😆😆

[@DavidForPerezident]

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.

[@atilvaid]

You guys seriously need an app with all your programs and do a yearly membership or something. I would be a member for life!!

I am a big fan of isometrics..in fact, I have the Mind Pump isometric course..it was great info..more people need to look into this style of training as a stand alone or incorporating them into their routines..loved this episode..you guys need to mention your course more often !

[@rekaahne7190]

I started isometrics to deepen my squat and open my hips… my lower back pain and sciatica pain is gone. Simple robust wins! Thanks again for promoting CNS fundamentals over hacks!!!

Y’all got me sold on maps symmetry. Been having imbalances for years. Getting to the point where I can’t even train without experiencing pain in my low back and neck from imbalances on each side. Thank y’all for everything. I used to think I knew a lot about fitness, but this past year since I’ve started watching yalls podcast a lot has change for me and the way I look at fitness.

Whats up MindPump! I stopped going to the gym for 7 months last year. This year, I've scheduled myself to run your RGB programs. The Knowledge you guys provide is invaluable.

[@finster78]

I wish I had all the information you guys provide 40 years ago when I started working out. I found your channel about 6 months ago and after a couple of MAPS Programs and following your advice, I feel I’ve made better gains in the last 6 months than I did in all my years of working out. Thanks for everything you do and keep up the great work.

[@MindPumpShow]

Wow thank you!

[@greasemonkeyfitness]

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 🏋🏋‍♂🏋‍♀

[@Surge_Bin]

I started looking into how to pose about a month ago, and never knew how much of a difference a simple twist in the hips or bringing your feet together make. I'm looking to ever be in a show, but yall talked about this before and got me looking into how to pose.

[@MindPumpShow]

Really cool!

[@mdjardinado]

I hate isometrics but when in the middle of it I love how it makes me feel overall. I try to incorporate it in my mobility days and next phase trying to put it into my actual foundational days. Thanks for the video!

[@MindPumpShow]

No problem!

[@michelledd8423]

I really appreciated this episode. I'm a novice to lifting and this was super informative.

[@MindPumpShow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BigBusiness02]

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.

[@irenaQ]

I spent a total of ten minutes on Instagram yesterday for the first time in years. It really emphasized how brutal the influencers are. It was extra refreshing to tune in to you guys this morning.

[@MindPumpShow]

As an old guy, isometrics are great. It's very difficult to injure joints with self-limiting muscle contractions. Great show.

Hi guys! Love the show! If I’m in a hypertrophy mesocycle (8-12 reps) and my ultimate goal is strength should I rest between sets like I would if I was doing heavy singles or should I go 30 second rest between sets? (Maximal strength is my end goal)

[@bsk8ball34]

[@MindPumpShow]

So glad

[@g.g.2359]

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.

[@ambermulder1866]

Symmetry sounds exactly like what I need. I’ve got a persistent ache in my left shoulder blade and in my right hip/glute due to a shorter right leg.

[@greasemonkeyfitness]

Curious..Did you happen to have that diagnosed by a chiropractor?

[@ambermulder1866]

@@greasemonkeyfitness I learned from a chiropractor that my right leg is shorter. That was a number of years ago. Within the past year, I’ve noticed more ache on that side and can see the discrepancy in length when I lift in front of a mirror. I guess I chalk it up to the length discrepancy.

[@greasemonkeyfitness]

@@ambermulder1866 Same thing happened to me - chiro took xrays, full evaluation, said my right leg was shorter. Visits helped for a while, new chiro sold me orthotics etc.. YEARS later, after starting my health journey, I found a CHEK level 4 practitioner (shout out to @joshlebow ) that also studied at the Postural Restoration Institute - which basically points out that internally (our organ layout) we are asymmetrical - some worse than others, also exacerbated by movement patterns and habits - and there are diaphragm breathing exercises to help counter this. Has helped me so much! My (new) chiro now agreed that I don't have a discrepancy. I also go barefoot as much as possible and wear Xero shoes every where else. Hope this helps!

Could yoga be considered isolation form of exercise? I've done the DDPY yoga program before and he's always talking moving with dynamic resistance. That we should imagine you are trying to move through clay or sand while changing positions. Seems like the same concept but I'm not sure, or would that be mobility?

Definitely need symmetry at some point. Between my feet being jacked up, me not switching hands with alt grip deadlifts, and sitting on the edge of a bed with an uneven topper to play video games and do homework I've developed so many imbalances lol. Aside from obvious usage and strength differences, I noticed one hip looked bigger laterally than the other. Then one last is bigger when flexing but it may just be a shoulder mobility issue, and later I noticed the erectors on the left side of my back protrude outwards more than my right. I got plenty of work and improvements to keep me busy!

You should have talked a lot more about the recovery from this typeof training... muscles recover in three days, but tendons and ligaments take A LOT LONGER... so doing isometrics and then when you feel your MUSCLES feel better or "recovered" and you go and try doing your max or close to your max, that is very dangerous and injury prone.
