Isometric Exercises The Truth About Isometrics

|e35da9740bdfb2010073a6aa6bbc9fb4| were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It was disregarded as a useful training protocol years later, but recent research has revealed that Isometrics can be effective.

When done correctly, isometric exercises can reshape a person’s physique and add tremendous strength without the person ever moving a muscle.

Isometric exercises are helpful to people who have had injuries that limit their range of motion and for rehabilitating muscle around damaged joints. Isometric exercises are also those in which a force is applied to a resistant object such as pushing against a brick wall, there is a build up of tension in the muscles, however there is no actual movement of the muscles.

According to the “early” research… to increase strength, you must maintain the position in any isometric exercise for at least 6 to 8 seconds. Isometric training has also been shown to increase the strength in exercises like the bench press by up to 40%.

Even though you can perform isometrics without any special equipment the benefits of exercising using equipment increases the strength and muscle gains dramatically.

One of the all important keys for increasing muscle size and strength is “PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE.” Simply put… you must continue to use more and more resistance to continue to get continued results.

Bodyweight exercises or free hand isometrics are not enough… eventually the body adapts to the “bodyweight resistance” and plateaus.

All personal trainers know this; it is the essence of resistance training!

Recently the use of free weights and isometric exercise equipment has become popular and has had excellent results in increasing muscle size and strength. The advantages of isometric exercise equipment are as follows:

The resistance is greater than what you can apply by doing the old fashion isometrics. Progressive resistance is what makes muscles grow!

The better isometric exercisers have a “meter” or measuring device so you can measure and see your strength levels increasing. Feedback is critical to keep you motivated to stay with your training.

Isometric equipment gives you a greater choice of exercises and therefore more variety.

More exercises means that you can work the muscle from many more angles thus increasing size and strength by more than 301.2%… over standard isometrics.

Isometric exercise equipment will allow you to use the equipment to perform isotonic exercise therefore increasing the muscles response to the exercises dramatically!

Isometric training can and will increase the effectiveness of your training when incorporated properly.

You really have no excuse, isometrics are quick, effective and scientifically proven to produce results… guaranteed!

Bear in mind that in the “ISO-SYNERGY” training program… we have incorporated more than one training protocol. More than just Isometrics and in addition we have discovered, tested and proven a more effective way to apply Isometrics.

The BULLY XTREME HOME GYM is NOT just an Isometric training device. We have incorporated protocols from other systems that work! I will be posting more on the new “ISO-SYNERGY” training protocol, so please bookmark this blog!
