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

Arthur,

Beyond what was posted in the other thread (Iso for rehab) I think you pretty much tapped us out for info on isometrics.

Do your own research, no one else is going to do it for you.

The other thread died out for a reason...

Follow these steps:
1) click your address bar
2) type www.google.com
3) type "isometrics" in the search bar
4) click search
5) click a link
6) read the ENTIRE article
7) go back
8) repeat steps 5-8

Yes all those claims are true ... but they still wont help you build muscle like going to the gym and smashing heavy ass wieghts. your not looking at the whole picture.

hrdgains right, isometrics have some positives but not if your goal is mass.
