Great video! I noticed quite often you mention bringing your shoulders back on most exercises. You did this a lot in your earlier videos too and because of taking that instruction, my shoulder injuries are history and I'm able to dip without pain. You're a quality trainer. Thank you!
Landed here as I plan my latest 4 week parking protocol for my next pro Armwrestling tournament where the pursuit of strength and not necessarily excess size makes an athlete much more efficient within his weight class - the series is very informative and I will begin implementing tomorrow with detailed notes to document results!
Chest is definitely what I find the hardest to engage when using straps for isometrics. Not so much when trying yield isometrics, I.e. half way push-ups
I pretty much had your same idea on the chest fly. T-Nation had an article on isometric chest fly holds called the Swiss ball squeeze. More of a resisting isometric. Not that you couldn't try to hit max effort with it, I think they can handle a few hundred pounds.
I found putting carabiners on the top ends of my Nossk Dual Pro straps, and clipping them together, gives me the same effect. Plus, I can adjust the length from either or both sides. As for chest flies, I stand at the door frame, and try to squeeze it into a pancake. Hope this helps anyone.
Hello better is like train 2 warmup sets +2 main sets or high volume train without failure. This is not like volume is only for endurance like Paul wayde wrote?
Hey Matt, wouldn't doing 3 iso sets -one at the bottom of the exercise, one at mid-range and one at extension, strengthen you more throughout the full range of motion?
Bro no. He's in a weird phase RN. Just keep doing your full range of motion push-ups and and you'll be fine man. I hope he stays with the pushups and pullups every day thing soon
I do that which I find way better than just one position per exercise. I've gotten great results from it. Just a few exercises like deadlifts, squats, push press, overhead press and curls are the most basic. Do various muscle groups on different days.
This is really wild!!! I learned to appreciate this is training for a day or so..but I love my daily pushups and pullups....thx tho bro... Can't wait to see your next endeavor lol . SMH oh boy. Isometrics lol TF 😑
Matt what you think of doing push ups like pushing the ground vs simply push up?i learned squat pushing from ground technique from earl liedermann pdf...he says to push your legs in ground to squat ...do you think that going to build leg muscles

My results/recovery are so much more efficient. My joints don't hurt anymore.
Rebounder for cardio game changer for old people.
I have gone through so many many videos of so called authorities and you are still the absolutely the best

So simple and yet so effective.
Much appreciate your efforts and sharing your wisdom on the subject.

Thanks for these videos! I picked up your book last week and am very happy to be trying this new-to-me method of exercise.
Thanks for another great video. I’m really, really looking forward to the “how to program isometrics” video.
A simple alternative to the standing chest press is to wrap the isotrainer behind a post or tree and stand in front of it. Solid.
Thanks RDP! 💪
My only question with resistance bands is the possibility of harmfully compressing the spine?
Hey Matt, with the first isometric I also put the straps under my armpit, between my torso and my arms!!

what if you squeezed a med ball for chest isometric work?
Or push up with the strap over your back?
if i may add to your tutelage, sir? same concept with heavy resistance bands that are almost impossible to move
