what was it like when they launched the modern kettlebell movement? was it similar to the isochain where ppl thought it was bullshit at first? im actually kinda interested in knowing
@@NoLimitSquad it was, but the kettle bell was way higher. I mean that was the ultimate at the time. The old time strong men appealed to people. The isometrics is harder to sell than the kettlebells. Usually things that are ordinary with time tested results are harder to sell co,apr3d to some thing new but also quite old. People always want more or different not realising that that the basics are always were it’s at. There boring and repetitive but they always bring you results.

Hello, I've been on and off watching your material. And I'm floored by the content you put out. Ivebeen trying a bit of isometrics with rope and a gymnastic ring, and it seems to work great. Definitely doing alot to increase my strength daily. I'm a pretty skinny guy, so I like the increase in strength without growth. Fast, quick and agile and unassuming is where I like to be hehe. Thank you so much for what you do 😁👍
I love "sleeper" cars for that very same reason! Never underestimate the rusted Ford F150 at the stop light! lol! Any tips I can give for your training, feel free to send an email
Another great, informative video. Yielding isometrics are great… I have been incorporating this style of isometrics in what is referred to as a loaded stretch. I do the loaded stretch for 30-60 seconds, easing into the stretch of what ever muscle I am working, not a passive stretch but a stretch with a bit of tension applied. This has made a massive difference and boosts the effects (hypertrophy ) of isometrics as well as providing that missing element of isometrics that dynamic provides. Hope this helps!
I do iso push up, plank, and wall sit. Usually a minute every other day. Im 65 and in decent shape. I think Ill take your advice and add sets. Excellent video
Now I will tell you the secret. Wall sit- push your feet through the very ground Push up plank- push your hands through the ground. It's a fight between you and the ground. This is real activation.
Excellent. Have put my Isochain on the shelf for awhile (being lazy), but love, love, LOVE these type of simple training principles. Please share more.
Its very interesting your video ive found an old bit of equipment i use to use years ago it's the bull worker I've started doing reps pressing it together holding it in the pressed position for 20 seconds 10 times it makes your arms shake but that's fine it shows it's working works the upper body very well you can do legs also you can do the same for curls and lots of other exercises its a very good piece of equipment its a push /pull machine i never rated it before until i used it for isometric exercises i use it for that after my normal work out what a difference wow you can found old bull workers in charity shops great vidio man inspired me 💪💯👍
Great video. It would be great if you did a muscle rehab series showing how to use the ISO Chain and Bullworker to help recover from injury. No other channels are doing this with these great devices.
Just came across your channel. I think I'm gonna do ovecoming isometrics to further stimulate my recovery during my rest days in addition to my workout routine every three days.
1 minute is too easy for me wall sit for 8 minutes that's what I do my goal is to wall sit for 75 minutes & plank for 75 minutes and push up plank for 75 minutes like the great bruce said go beyond are limits
I find these mentally the toughest kind of exercises to do. Time seems to stand still and I dread doing them after a few days and it's so easy to nope out., once my concentration is gone it's gone
Its a great way to build strength and tone. Still very effective! The program would just have to be a bit different to accomodate for the loss in dynamic movement
When I did Okinawa karate and Kung fu these were part of training the yielding iso. They used to force us into Kung fu stance. In some, ways this is more evil than overcoming. Try doing a wall sit for 5 mins 😂
pffff. you dont need to tell me! lol! It burns with just 90 sec. I cant imagine 5xing it! But you guys could probably kick a horse bc of that strength you built!
What’s your thoughts on isometrics for fat loss? I’ve notice day an already slight more toned level to my body. Without cardio. I will post my results.
Make your own. Wood platform, thick broomstick handle, Vulken strap…$15 (not including the wood). Add a crane scale for another $15-20 if u want. Actually you may as well make 2 IsoStrap units cuz the Vulken straps come as a pair for $30. Sell the second one to make back the $$ you spent. You can easily sell it for 2-3x the cost too. 😂😂😂 Think about it…wouldn’t you gladly pay me $45 for a new DIY IsoStrap device (or even $75 for one with a scale) If I offered it for sale? How can you NOT afford to make these if u really want one🧐🧐🧐.
Review the form, chances are you are cheating without notice, otherwise hold it for longer and/or use weights, you can use a plate for the first and a weighted vest for the other 2.
Beat 90 seconds. Make it 120 seconds. It is almost similar beating your max on the isochain. The difference in yielding isometrics is you are beating your max seconds from yesterday.
@@RedMagat except, I don’t think I should go on forever building more time. I don’t have all the time in the world to break yielding isometric records.
Would you do these on the days you’re lifting weights anyways other words follow up with your weight training? I’m curious how you program this stuff because I know you lift weights but your channel is all about isometrics. Would love to see some examples of how you are programming this All the way down to rep sets rest times how many times per week Thanks in advance!
What is your opinion of the new isomax training device from DragonDoor? Whenever a new training modality comes along it doesn't take long before an improved version is released. DragonDoor is offering a discount to customers that purchased the original. What do you think?
Hey man, I have some questions, I don't know if it's because I'm doing too much or because I'm beginning, but you see, I have a bit of a background of training, I did karate in the past, trained a bit I was strong and I stopped for 10 years since. I'm starting again to train, but now with only isometrics and my question is : Is that normal to feel fatigued if I was doing like in a session on iso workout with light weight like let's say 30% of my PR with a total of near 1 hour of Time under tension all exercises combined? Ah, theres one thing too, I was going like exercise hold to one another with almost no breaks between, but I was doing just fine with that. After those, I started to be hungry as hell too lol.
absolutely. your muscles were still under tension and for 60 minutes straight according to what you'd said so it's understandable you'd feel fatigued after all that :)
@Sam…from what I know of Iso you are going to do yourself a disservice if you continue with your stated routine. Think u r clearly overtraining. From all trusted authorities on the subject there is an agreement that an Iso session should not extend past 20 mins. And that usually includes rest time between reps. You didn’t state how often u performed your hour-long workout sessions. But that may not even matter. Patience 👍👍👍👍👍

How are your DOMS?
These are such great videos. Thank you!

Love to hear it! And yeah extra sets will help. If you're a masochist, you can always reduce rest times as well😁
Now I will tell you the secret.
Wall sit- push your feet through the very ground

It's a fight between you and the ground.
This is real activation.
Eeeeeh bro I never checked if it was just in my head but I always felt a lot more doing this
@@xrt126 it's the truth my brother
its funny that I sometimes use that training que for clients. I tell them to imagine stomping through the ground. Works every time
Thank you for these great videos!
Excellent.
Have put my Isochain on the shelf for awhile (being lazy), but love, love, LOVE these type of simple training principles. Please share more.
I train every 2 days for about 30 minutes. Even when I feel lazy it seems easy because I'm not moving around.
I'll try the isometric push-up & row!
sweet!

Thanks Vinny! Any specific injury you have in mind?
@@NoLimitSquad Shoulder.
Just came across your channel. I think I'm gonna do ovecoming isometrics to further stimulate my recovery during my rest days in addition to my workout routine every three days.
Hold for a minute, then immediately do reps for a minute
You trying to kill us bro lol
1 minute is too easy for me wall sit for 8 minutes that's what I do my goal is to wall sit for 75 minutes & plank for 75 minutes and push up plank for 75 minutes like the great bruce said go beyond are limits
Great video, looking forward to the others in this series. I really need to develop my forearm strength ASAP. Keep up the good work Bro!
Whats the difference between a traditional horse stance and the wall sit?
I find these mentally the toughest kind of exercises to do. Time seems to stand still and I dread doing them after a few days and it's so easy to nope out., once my concentration is gone it's gone
Same! Yielding really tests your mental fortitude. I need a specific playlist for this type of exercise personally
Thank goodness for your channel!
Try the chest squeeze with a door. 6 sec overcoming,
Beast mode on that exercise!
Fantastic, REALLY glad to see this series, 😊 thank you. What do you have/suggest for posterior chain?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
My favorite isometric exercise is BEAR POSITION. I can do 1 min 45 sec.
Not sure I've seen that one before!
What are your thoughts on doing isometrics alone? Meaning, just a workout on nothing but isometrics?
Its a great way to build strength and tone. Still very effective! The program would just have to be a bit different to accomodate for the loss in dynamic movement
When I did Okinawa karate and Kung fu these were part of training the yielding iso. They used to force us into Kung fu stance. In some, ways this is more evil than overcoming. Try doing a wall sit for 5 mins 😂

When should extra sets be added?
Was there a part 2?

very effective. as effective as weightlifting or calisthenics as long as the program is correct
Hi
For perfect training would you recommand :
3 sets of each exercise
Maximum time under tension 45 s
Then put weighted vest to overload
?
Thanks
Thats one way to progress them, yes! We can also increase sets to overload, increase time, or increase duration as well.
@@NoLimitSquad Thanks my question was about hypertrophy
i'll try these for the next 12 weeks
Let me know how you make out!
@@NoLimitSquad will do 🙂
1 minute each exercise, 4 rounds no rest
All my friends are using the isochain and their progress has been unbelievable! I will cave eventually when I have the money lol

How can you NOT afford to make these if u really want one🧐🧐🧐.
Sprinting with isometrics OR running ? Which cardio would you go with to add the extra fat cut to lean up? Like long runs or short sprints.
absolutely sprinting
@@NoLimitSquad 👍
What do you do if these exercises are easy to hold for 90seconds.
Review the form, chances are you are cheating without notice, otherwise hold it for longer and/or use weights, you can use a plate for the first and a weighted vest for the other 2.
Beat 90 seconds. Make it 120 seconds. It is almost similar beating your max on the isochain. The difference in yielding isometrics is you are beating your max seconds from yesterday.

"Thoughts on isometric diamond pushups"?
Is it recommended to do this before or after a calisthenic workout? Would it tire out your muscles too much before doing the rest of your workout?
I'd recommend doing this after to safely take your muscles to failure. Better to take them to failure Stationary vs moving
@@NoLimitSquad awesome, thank you for the reply! Can't wait to weave them into my routine 👊💪

@@nokieng6502 i was training for like 1h with pretty much no much rest. I still did have results, but yeah, maybe overtrained lol.
Does this increase steength
Yes but more so with increased loads. Bodyweight variations can only provide so much strength stimulus
Be good to know if yielding stokes metabolic rate, hgh testosterone. Burn up fat
Does this builds up body?
absolutely! think of this as calisthenics but without the movement
