People overlook isometrics far too quickly. I don’t necessarily like them when used as a stand alone method of training. I do however love them when used alongside other methods. Here’s an example of how to incorporate them: 1.) Pre-exhausting with an isometric and then changing the angle of the exercise to account for the fatigue. So here it starts with a “flat bench” iso held near the sticking point of a bench press. Finishes with a dip (mechanically stronger exercise). #chest #isometrics #gai

Isometrics increase “muscularity”, period. Their use is one of the greatest ways to improve mind muscle connection and muscle fiber recruitment. 4-6 reps with 6 second holds are a great start. If done right, you’ll feel each subsequent contraction intensify in the quality of the contraction. Here the lats and rhomboids/middle traps are in focus. Watch them light up like a Christmas tree more and more from rep one to rep 4! | ATHLEAN-X

Get ready to torch abs and shoulders...keep legs elevated with this isometric hold. #abs #shoulders #isometric | Athlean-XX for Women

We all get burned out doing the same ab exercises, so adding in exercises that will hit your abs and also work on mobility (standing up to Plank) is great for those hips. #medball #mobility #abs | Athlean-XX for Women
