This looks AMAZING, is this a form of Time Under Tension??

[@jeffsommer7004]

Always good information. One caveat, a muscle needs to be under load for 60 seconds for hypertrophy.

[@user-mno1966]

Does it need 60 seconds?? A normal repetition workout of 10 reps is around 3 seconds up 2 seconds down = 5 seconds = 50 seconds for 10 reps BUT you're also resting between each rep. Static contraction or overcoming isometrics there is no rest SO holding the weight static for just 30 seconds would equal an 8 or 10 rep set. I personally take the hold from 30 seconds to 45 seconds as a form of progression once I can do 45 seconds I add a small amount of weight 1.5 kg and start again at 30 seconds works great for me but everyone is different like the man says experiment.

Could we do a Seated DB Shoulder Press rather than a standing Side Lateral Raise for the shoulders, and just hold the dumbbells for 10 seconds at the top, plus 10 seconds at Shoulder level with the tension on the shoulders; if we have balance issues, and can't stand for 20 seconds straight while holding the dumbbells? (I do DB Side Lateral Raises one arm at a time while seated.) Or would doing them one arm at a time while seated, and just holding them for 10 seconds at the top for 2 Sets per each arm/side still work the same way?

What is the brand of dumbbells you are using?

[@JoseSanchez-sp2ex]

can you do squats with isometrics.

[@jw-vx8im]

Yes just find a position about half way down and hold

[@MrJasonsean]

The wall squat is a good Isometric exercise for the legs.

[@rborno]

How many sets per exercise?

[@david-markthomlinson7928]

What dumbbells are they?

[@tonymanolo8718]

How much weight should we use? Is it gonna be the actual weight for the normal exersice or what?

[@billtufts4304]

Just a weight that makes you feel like you're pushing yourself, just enough that it's not too easy.

[@tonymanolo8718]
