How I Do Isometric Pull-Ups & Dips

[@oscarstenberg2745]

Matt, you should sell this program to NASA, I bet astronauts would have great use for this in 0 gravity when they have to train to avoid severe atrophy. No weights, no gravity, no expensive machines, but still buff astronauts.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Damn that's a good idea. Never thought about it in that aplication

[@josephmetts3085]

​@@RedDeltaProjectdoes overcoming isometrics when it comes to real strength? Have u seen real world testable results? I've interested in gaining lots of strength without getting huge muscles.

[@aquilonianace4791]

​@@josephmetts3085 Oh man isometrics build 99.8% of the muscle isotonics do. It's virtually identical. Maybe if you keep your sets to 5 second holds or less, because if you do 20 seconds plus then you are going to get bigger. Also you don't have to flex your hardest, just what's comfortable

[@josephmetts3085]

@@aquilonianace4791 thanks for the reply. Have you noticed strength gains with overcoming isometrics?

[@selfelected3832]

Not sure but this might be good for decompressing the lower back ?

[@davidwagner9644]

Improvise, adapt, overcome

[@Jumptrain101]

Nice, I could possibly set up dips in a similar fashion on my power tower, but not for pull ups. I use yielding iso hold for my pull ups!

[@vincentlivoti4184]

Matt putting the WorldFit ISO Trainer to work!👍

[@Oldmanorange]

I gotta figure a way to rig this on my setup. Very cool.

[@EATMAN888]

bullworker straps?

[@residentgeardo]

Nice. I wonder if the straps are anchored well enough though. In case they slip they might end up in your face ...

[@RedDeltaProject]

You can't see from the angle here, but I'm actually pulling them back against the metal steps, so they lock in even tighter when I apply pressure. But good point here folks, you gotta make sure those suckers are secure because you're creating a lot of kinetic energy here. Be safe!

[@wmj246]

Appreciate you Matt

[@RemasterCoDWaW]

Love your videos always come back to them

[@irish.marketer]

cool. but why?

[@oscarstenberg2745]

Because weak bad

[@RedDeltaProject]

I just like making my muscles work really, really, really hard. (*evil maniacal chuckle*)

[@modernbird]

working on street lifting stuffs these exercises would definitely give gains to my weighted pullup/dips thanks a lot!

[@wanderer5200]

Interesting. I would not have thought to use straps like this. What kind of gains have you made with them?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Lots, course it's only been a month or so, but this sort of training has been one of the most potent ways I've seen a difference in the mirror

[@salvatorearanzulla9104]

​@@RedDeltaProjectcan this increase pull up 1RM?

[@bw6078]

Nice video

[@waltherwagner9711]

Great idea

[@brianpaul541]

Next level

[@jameswoods6385]

Hey Matt, When doing your PPS challenge program is doing each chain twice in 8 days enough volume to get bigger and stronger or does it vary according to your fitness level?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Depends on your proraming. you can practice everything every day if you like, or even once a week. it's all in how muchh fatigue you acumulate in a workout, hence how much recovery you need

[@ABigNUT69]

Is this different than just holding yourself up at a certain hanging angles?

[@twoblocksdown5464]

He is not just hanging, he is trying to pull himself up. Imagine that he is trying to tear the ropes with his force by pulling up.

[@ABigNUT69]

How do these iso movements compare to just doing them normally?

[@francopereyra7517]

thats bc the muscles only have two moods, on and off, in this case, her muscles are on bc hes pushing with maximal strenght, and it could give more results if you work in differents angles, start, medium and finishing.
