Why Isometrics Are Underused
- Isometrics are underutilized in fitness, possibly because they don't look impressive on video.
- They are also less conducive to the 'punish yourself' mentality.
Isometrics for Strength
- Use isometrics to build strength and muscle without causing excessive damage.
- Add them to your workout by pausing during lifts for 5-10 seconds.
Isometric Exercises
- Apply isometrics by holding a position at the weakest point of an exercise.
- Try holding the bottom of a squat, top of a calf raise, or the peak of a shoulder press.
