What’S up guys, jeff Cavaliere athleanx.com, here’s an athlean-x training system video for you to talk all about isometrics and whether or not they belong in your training programs, especially if you’re trying to build muscle now a lot of times guys will say: isometrics forget they don’t build muscle. Don’T waste your time and they confuse that with the fact that isometrics generally won’t make you sore the day after you do that. Why is that? Because they’re lacking the eccentric lengthening component that we’ve talked about, that does a lot of the damage that creates the late-onset muscle soreness for a lot of different reasons in your muscles today in two days after. But it doesn’t mean that isometrics can’t build muscle matter of fact they can for two very big reasons: number one there are two different types of isometrics for here I’ll just grab two little cables to demonstrate. You have yielded isometrics, which are basically when you hold a position. You’Re trying to resist the elongation on that muscle, okay or the lowering of that muscle is a side lateral raise lower it down. That’S that’s number. One number two is an overcoming isometric. Where you set this thing way: high, okay and something I can’t move and I’m trying to move the immovable, okay, so I’m trying to pull out as hard as I possibly can up against this again. There’S a lot of tension there in your muscles in tension is what we need to elicit a hypertrophy response, but here’s the thing: the tension that you develop on an isometric is actually going to be greater than the tension that you could ever develop in a concentric Contraction, why is that? Because number one was able to actually build into that tension. We get into a little bit of a comfort zone. We can actually increase it as we feel more comfortable with the move. Secondly, because of the acceleration and deceleration component in the change of direction of a concentric exercise, you actually are slowing down in decreasing tension as you change directions like, as we know, if we’re come up here, okay start to decelerate we’re going to go back in the Other direction and then the same thing start to accelerate again we got to come back in the other direction, so your total actual peak maximum force production is going to be less in a concentric exercise than it is going to be an isometric, but here’s the key move. If you want to start building muscle with your isometric switch again, I feel they can. I feel they belong in your complete training program, you’re going to want to start doing these for a lot longer. So your intention again one of the early recommendations device metrics for about three-four seconds at a time. No, why don’t you? We do isometrics for about thirty to sixty seconds. At a time you take about seventy to eighty percent of the weight, you would normally use for an exercise and you hold it. That’S what you’re going to do a yielding, if you can do it, overcoming exercise. So metric load the weight up as high as you can, so you can’t move whatever it is and then just go at it and try to hold that tension and develop as much force as you possibly can for 30. 40. 50. 60 seconds. Ideally and there you go and that’s how you can use isometrics to develop a lot more force than you might ever think you could in the long run start building, even more muscle than you thought you ever could with isometric. So if you guys are looking for a program that incorporates concentric eccentric isometric training, does it the right times in the right amounts to make sure that you’re not skipping, something that could be as valuable as this guys? It’s the athlean-x training system, I kind of put it all together and lay it all out for you step by step. I put the science back in strength because sometimes we need that to get our heads cleared a lot of the bro-science. That’S out there to put you right back on track with what you need to do to get the most out of your training back. Is that athleanx.com?
