Isometrics for Strength or Size (Different Protocols for Different Results!)

In today's video we are looking at two very distinct science-backed protocols for using isometrics for EITHER maximum strength development and/or hypertrophy.
The biggest key to getting results from the information in today's video is to make sure that you've watched the previous three videos in this series! Today, we're covering the max strength and hypertrophy protocols in a vacuum. However, if you have nerve or joint issues, joint instability, or other issues these protocols may need some tweaking to optimize your personal results.
Whether you're a movement professional, athlete, fitness lover, or just curious about getting the most out of your workouts, this video's got something for you.

Really good stuff, thank you for sharing Dr. Cobb! May have missed it but did you discover the most effective protocol in the sense of how many days out of the week for this?

[@elvisincali]

ACCURATE AND USEFUL!!!👍💪😉 It's very rare to find accurate and useful info on isometrics... but you did a great job! Thanks!👍💪😉

[@nirmalramchandra7649]

Gem of a video 👍👍 Thanks for the valuable info

[@Andy-828.]

QUESTION: How many exercises per body part would you recommend and how many workouts per week?

[@chazbo3071fun]

Good information. I've been doing three positions for each exercise because I've read that you increase strength only 15 degrees above and below that position. Is there any value in doing that? Much simpler to use only the long muscle length position as you recommend.

[@DocPaolo]

Can't agree more; I, also, use the stretch position in my isometrocs and, atleast, one me, look working great.

[@matt009817]

I would think isometrics (in the way he described) should be done in conjunction with normal full range of motion exercises. If you are strictly only doing isometrics, than doing what you described would be better, but still put more emphasis (do your first sets) on the lengthened position

[@DocPaolo]

@@matt009817 I, personally, use to add isometrics at the beginning for short timing then, at the end of the workout long time under tension.

[@JimmyJones-w3p]

Been watching a few videos on this recently. Apparently Luke Bruce Lee did an old strongman isometric routine that consisted of eight movements. From what I gather he cut out the middle of the movement so like a lengthened isometric hold and an end range isometric hold. And then combine that with full ROM training your joints are probably doing better than 70% of people.

Stock videos have nothing to do, better not use them

[@loriwilliamson5738]

This video is life changing!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@geopietro]

Very informative. Thank you for posting. How would you use/modify the isometric strength protocol for bodyweight exercises. I do pull-ups and would like to increase my strength (both the number of reps and 1-5 rep max with weights). I guess you could add weight to hit the parameters discussed. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you again.

[@m.b.593]

How many sets, per muscle group, per week? Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@JS-fm9hm]
