Bodyweight Isometrics Anyone Can Do | Train HARD without Joint Pain | FULL BODY

[@HybridCalisthenics]

If you're still confused about isometrics, blame it on me for not explaining well enough! I was trying to balance a comprehensive explanation with a reasonable video time. I can add clarifying videos later. It's been a while since I've done a full-length fitness video. I'll put out some more soon - especially after I release Routine 2.0! Hope you're all well!

[@nishanthv1112]

I've had knee pain for a while now, especially since I dislocated my knee 4 months ago. Me being me, didn't listen entirely to the doctor and as soon as the dislocation was 'fixed' to the point where I didn't get any pain when I ran, but it wasn't healed completely. Ended up reinjuring it twice after because of that. I finally got around to fixing it again and this will help me get back to my workouts now, thanks for this video Hampton!

[@johannes01]

Wow hope you are fine! Wish your knee the best for the future

[@suzannehartmann946]

LEARN and TAKE IT SLOW. FAST walks are as good for your HEART and the rest of your body as jogging and less likely to re-injure your knee.

Perfect timing since I hurt my shoulder trying to do an extra 100 push ups than I normally do

[@alectroniumrush6694]

What do you mean by hurt? Like did it pop out?

[@alm7888]

Woah here's my advice from a fellow guy on the internet: Don't count the reps YOU make them count and what i mean by that is using time under tension when doing the exercise without momentum you control the way your body moves trust me if you control your body when doing an exercise stability and strength will be certain and the key to getting that is consistency you'd be surprised if i told you i did 10 reps of diamond push ups each rep takes 4 seconds which means it took me 40 seconds to complete a set and that was yesterday my shoulder and triceps are a little sore but not painful try strengthing your rotator cuff muscles or do some shoulder stretches sorry if my comment was too lonf

[@supersonic882]

Most shoulder injuries and pain comes from muscle imbalances around the joint, focusing on muscle and neglecting others will make unbalances. For example training the shoulder /lats more often. It also could be coming from other reasons such as bad Pousture /poor diet /overtraining a muscle in a short time causes adhesion/hyperactive upper traps /bad control and form... Etc I recommend u to start training all the neglected muscles that help the situation. The muscles u need to train and strengthen for better scapula movement and shoulder joint health are the following: -The rear deltoid -the external rotator cuffs -the middle and lower trapezius -the serratus anterior -thoracic spine mobility as well -the core muscles Streching gives a temporary fix only, yes Streching help a little but it's never the answer. Strengthing the neglected muscle along with scapula control exercises are key to reverse shoulder injury. I injured my shoulder 2 years ago and I've been studying and searching how to fix it and that took me 2 years to realize the danger of unbalances now recently I planned my rehabilitation program for my shoulder and it's getting so much better day by day.

[@alm7888]

@@supersonic882 true what you said was true i had extreme shoulder pain i waited for 2 months for it to heal and it never got better the pain stayed and then i decided it was enough i searched through the internet and found the answer weak back muscles or weak rotator cuffs i trained them for one day and the next day boom no pain remember for anyone reading this comment never neglect your muscles or any muscle for example if you trained the quads train the hamstrings as well never leave imbalances it's never about looking good it's about the safety and benefits from the exercise

That’s Awesome! Thank you Brother Hampton!!! Although I am just starting my fitness journey, and I find it may be difficult to do some of these variations, I can still see the application and apply it to the forms I’m doing. Example, I’m doing pull-ups from a doorway. But, I can hold the halfway point for an isometric hold! Or, same variations from a wall push-up! Thank you for your content, and I appreciate how you approach and explain topics! It makes someone as novice as myself still feel included and not left out over those further along in their journey than myself! Love You Brother

[@extrasmalldoll654]

I was run over by a car last year and I'm just now trying to start exercising again 🙌

[@johnmaletic898]

Agreed. I broke my back in 2019 and, whilst prognoses was a lifelong wheelchair bound future, I was "lucky" enough I've been doing qigong for over 30 years. It was zhan zhuang that enabled me to walk again. Now, I went through 5 surgeries due to "complications" and one of the side effects of those narcosis/surgeries was joint pain. Particularly in the elbows and shoulders. I never ever had those. But yeah, it's a known side effect. Anywho, even with light exercises such as baduanjin or surya namaskar, isometrics are a good addition. Forget about push ups or whatever. Chaturanga and the likes are better, less pain. Now, here's the thing. Exercises like Da jin fa and to a lesser, different degree, Zhan zhuang are..um..., by lack of better words, a form of non or less-muscular isometric practices. I know it sounds weird, but in terms of how isometrics work on a neuro level ( to begin with), that's exactly what they are in a way. With a certain intention,you hold, push or lift in a relaxed position for a prolonged time. There's no doubt in my mind that performing those exercises results, amongst others, in the same results as would the more "western, more muscular isometrics" do. Power, explosiveness, souplesse.. That being said, while doing isometrics, "soft" tendon and muscle stretching types of exercise like baduanjin or vinyasa ( for example) are excellent counterparts to release and flow the power generated by static muscular isometrics, wether yielding or overcoming.

[@johnmaletic898]

As a sidenote. Yoga, as we know it, being a modern ( western) practice, has quite a few of asanas that are muscle/tendon isometric exercises. More so in Hatha ( sivananda) than in Asjtanga since the first holds the positions longer.

[@NDemanuele1]

You have a great channel! I'm a new subscriber. I'm older and do a mix of calisthenics and weights. Lately, I been experimenting with modifying my Pull Up routine. These days, on a good day I can do 5 on my own with good form. After I complete my own reps I follow it up with band assisted and squeeze out a few more and then do some negatives. What I learned was although the bands are considered cheating or assistance by many, they actually add tension, thus feel the stretch more. It may benefit me to do them exclusively with bands since I can increase TUT and may benefit me more over time. Also, as you stated, partials at a certain angle or range can help. I don't want to get caught up in the numbers game, my intent is more TUT and pushing blood in the Back.

[@abrokanfxr3388]

always been a binge watcher , how'd you control your expressions while doing hard exercises?

[@HybridCalisthenics]

It helps if we learn to breathe regularly during these exercises. However, the largest factor is usually that I've built strength beyond those exercises. I'd have more trouble speaking normally doing full-ROM one-arm pullups, for example. But unless you're filming or otherwise need to speak while exercising, just let your expressions run wild! It's normal for our surrounding musculature to be recruited when we do high-intensity exercises.

[@dianasayson2846]

I imagine that these exercises are more like walking to Hampton by this time. As most people have mastered walking by year 2, we no longer show effort when we walk compared to when we're still learning to put one foot in front of the other to get somewhere.

Occasionally feeling sad for no reason is normal. What we are taught nowadays is that if you feel sad or depressed there must be something wrong with you.

The people you need to be worried about are the ones that are constantly up beat. They are the weirdo’s.

[@KxngRiq]

I’ve been doing pull-ups for about a month now and went from barely being able to do 5 to crushing 20 with ease. The thing is that I’ve recently started to feel minor pain within my shoulder. Do these methods help those experiencing rotator cuff issues by strengthening the weaker/lesser used muscles within the shoulder?

[@jogilajariov2362]

Just do the exercise right, instead of aiming for the amount of reps. and you won't feel that pain anymore.

[@meytrix8]

@@jogilajariov2362 yes form does matter for exactly this reason.👌🏾

[@Weiti666]

Hampton mentioned in one of his videos that this may be due to your muscles having grown quicker than your joints were able to develop. You can strengthen them by doing easier variations of the pull-up, thus not straining them with too much weight before they have fully adapted.

[@ddpwe5269]

Yep, muscles grow faster than the tissues in and around your joints. Once you strengthen them up, you'll be able to jump to your next level. Like this video pointed out, reducing the intensity through dynamics or using isometrics will help alleviate the pain. Then incorporate them in to your routine to maintain better joint health or stay on steps longer (ie: starting at 5, when you get to 10, take some time and hang-out there for a few more weeks until everything feels solid, then jump up another 5 and rinse repeat). Although, like someone mentioned, not counting your reps and concentrating on the actual movement with slow reps. Putting pauses at the beginning, middle and end of exercises you can add pauses to will also help. There's more to the exercise than how many you can do, as that's just one of the main areas you can manipulate. If you don't train any other area, you will develop problems, not if. Think of tempo, unilateral, weight, sets etc to name a few. Once you start using more tools, the chances of injury go way down.

[@KxngRiq]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

[@nothere_cora]

I do strength training in the morning ( as in weights) and I'd like to put trigger sessions in between, calisthenics always interested me so maybe it would be a good thing to try incorporating that into my days Also I was searching for isometrics and I'm also interested in trying to get my ability to pull up back, and you're the perfect guy for that

[@yoshi1951]

Good you mentioned to breath eventhough you are under tension. I see so much people press breathing all the time. It just doubles your bloodpressure, is unhealthy and unnessacery unless you are doing something really heavy with low reps.
