It's rare for people to do this kind of muscular endurance work, specifically for things like bicep s or triceps. And there aren't many activities that really rely on isolation of those muscles repeatedly. So you can do this with isometrics. You can do this with ore standard, non isometric type movements,. But make sure there isn't a strong eccentric load.
This episode I discuss endurance: our ability to perform effort over extended amounts of time. I describe the four kinds of endurance: muscular endurance, long duration (single-set) efforts, and the two kinds of high intensity interval training (HIIT). I discuss efficiency of effort and maximizing quality of effort, and a hydration formula. I review how our heart literally gets stronger when we oxygenate muscles properly. I also discuss motivation for long bouts of work and the visual physiological basis of the "extra gear" we all can leverage for effort. Finally, I review how accelerating as we fatigue can allow us to access untapped energetic resources.
