Default isometrics revisited

Hi guys,


I am posting this as a new thread, - cuz, many days have passed & response died out.

I'll be more specific.

Isometric exercises are supposed to be more safer than the usual weight lifting exercises.

They are also more productive becuz. -

1.They avoid any intramuscular friction.

2. reduce any momentum factor.

3. Don't have any negative phase where intramuscular friction is supposed to help in lowering the load.

4. They require considerably less motor skill than weight training exercises and hence muscle retention rate is increased.
5. They are similiar to closed chain kinectic exercises & thus muscle retention & strength rate is increased.


Are these claims true.


Arthur
