Man you helped me soo much on the beginning of my fitness journey! Now I'm working out daily and that is my passion, I'm even trying to film workouts and become an influencer too
Isometrics are of two types : yielding isometrics and overcoming isometrics. Yielding isometrics means just holding a given resistance at a given point of time. Overcoming isometrics means pushing or pulling against an immovable resistance.Yielding isometrics are the type of isometrics you mentioned here. But, overcoming isometrics are the best type of isometrics to build muscle and strength. Yielding isometrics provide decent amount of hypertrophy but overcoming isometrics provide more hypertrophy than yielding isometrics. Overcoming isometrics build muscle at least as same as dynamic exercises. Overcoming isometrics is the best way to build muscle upto your genetic limit without going to gym. Calisthenics + overcoming isometrics = Unlimited Gains without any gym memberships 💪💪💪🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🔥🔥🔥
@@noahrav6655I don't think both are resisting gravity. The overcoming isometrics are resisting the resisting force of the immovable object (which we assume to be much higher than what we can do). This means the amount of force can be much higher in overcoming isometrics. And you decide how much force to do. With yielding, you make a fixed pre determined amount of force. For example when you hold your own body weight at a fixed position, and it's easy for you, then all you can do to challenge yourself is increase time under tension. The force is the same: your body weight x gravity. On the other hand, if you are standing and try to push a wall away while having your feet pushing against something else on the floor which won't move, then you can vary the force depending on how hard you push, and the limit is you breaking your bones, or the walls. In both situations nothing is moving, yet the second example allows you to chose how much force to apply. If you go for max force, you probably can only do it for like 2-3 seconds which is like doing 1RM of weight lifting. Another example of overcoming isometrics is doing static bicep curls with a towel. Put a (long) towel beneath your feet, grab both ends with your hands while standing up, and then just do "reps" where you try to stretch the towel. As long as the towel doesn't break, you can do a lot of force without moving at all. And you can chose how hard or difficult to make it with the amount of force you do. With yielding this is only possible by changing the exercise into another one or using weights/elastics (for example having a loaded backpack while doing a plank).
This is very very useful and a material of true clear learning and this video is really informative.👌 Thank you, guys! Greetings from Egypt!👊🔥🇪🇬🇪🇬 Lucky to be with your channel! I appreciate it!🙂👌
Great video like always! I'd love to see a video on periodization for calisthenics from you as that's something I'm still not quite sure how to do right and I don't find a lot to that subject
Hey, do you have some tips for someone that did 500+ push ups a day, but got injured on his shoulder and wants to start again? I love your vids so so much
True about calisthenics, but there is more... You say "static" without mentioning the word "Isometric" Those 2 are not exactly the same, but to a large extent similar. And when it comes to isometric, it's probably the best-kept secret in the fitness world: 1. You can do them anywhere, anytime, just like (almost) calisthenics 2 If you are injured/tired/unwell, you can isolate just the muscles you want to train without hurting the ones you don't. 3. They build strength almost as well as the dynamic exercises, with +- 20 degrees of the isometrically held position. 4. Last but not least: if you are concerned with your overall health: there has been a major recent study in the British Journal of Sport Medicine that showed that Isometric exercises are THE BEST at lowering blood pressure: ahead of cardio, dynamic forms of strength training OR a mix of cardio +dynamic strength training. If you are 20 years old now and in perfect health ... just wait a bit and all of those above advantages of isometric training will become more and more appealing to you...
Well, it depends. In short, isometrics are not a great way to build muscle (i.e. induce muscular hypertrophy). Sure, they can be used by rank beginners, and are useful for detrained individuals (recovering from injury etc), but, for the vast majority of the population interested in muscular hypertrophy as a goal, they are not useful beyond the absolute beginner stage. However, that being said, isometrics are not bad at all for strength development -- esp. end-range or mid-range strength. Strength is specific to many factors -- position (positional strength), range, type of movement pattern/exercise, mobility, etc... And, isometrics can help with strength development in all these... Of the two major types of isometrics -- yielding isometrics & overcoming isometrics -- the latter are better (than the former) for both strength & muscular development. But, either is far inferior to dynamic contractions (eccentric having been recently found to be superior to concentric) as far as muscular hypertrophy is concerned... But, both forms of static isometric contractions are good for developing mobility.
Is it better to do 'explosive' movement in the hardest part like push/pullup? does it make a difference to doing it slowly and argueably more intesely?
Not directly about the video, but in many of your videos you are using a black cube like thing for elevated push ups and so on. This thing looks really strong but also light and seems to offer multiple different length to work with. And as I dont want to rely on chairs etc I wanted to buy something similar, but I cant find anything. Any Idea how to find these or what to search for to find similar things?
Hi, this was a general question. Since in a concentric the muscle is lifting the weight and contracting and in eccentric the muscle is being stretched out and resisting the weight, would it be right to say thay tje concentric builds strength more and eccentric build muscle more?
What about planking? I love doing plank but my main exercise for abdominals is using the ab roller whilst on your knees to then lower extend out with your arms therefore contracting the abs on the return upward position.
Hi Alex, hope you are doing well and thanks for another great post. Need your help on this: have been watching your excellent push up videos and trying to follow the technique. One thing I notice is that I need to pause to reset after each rep to get the form right (the scapula position, retraction of the pelvis, core engaged etc.) else things fall through after I get the first rep right. Is this pausing and resetting after each rep ok?
Sure. You can also make it easier for the beginning and make the pushup a bit easier by doing incline pushups. So you can really concentrate on the technique and are not limited by strength. When you get stronger and better at the execution you can make it harder again.

I felt asleep when reading your comment.
Both consist of resisting gravity, so what's the difference ? Can you provide exercices using overcoming isometrics ?
@@Beats-By-Anthony YI vs OI? Better?

I disagree. Isometrics more importantly train strength, stability and endurance
Great content as always
Alex's movements and structures are so perfect, that I suspect he is a cyborg
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Great video. Didn't know about static exercises as recovery versions. Cheers!

I just started doing both, one day full body dynamic, other static with some cardio. I feel amazing. Static gives me a combination of work and rest.
Can you do videos about Rings? I LOVE them :D
Thanks for the advise. My muscles are weak. I need training like in the video.
Thank you so much, it's very helpful.
I have an injury, and I need to work out.
Thank youuuu
Wow, this is amazing 👍
thank you❤❤

What are your training split and what do you recommend for beginners??

5:51 static holds a.k.a isometrics also make you stronger and give more explosive strength.

Ab Wheel Rollous have a dynamic and static component, overall a gread abdominal exercise.
@@calimove perfect, appreciate the response 💪🏼
It’s useless absolutely. Because you can balance some muscles to the point where there is no issue. Also planking isn’t what abs are made for anyway
Hey it's Vilamoura!
L sit pullup holds on my baseblock trainer helped me get my first pullup and add reps.
Hi hollow body static or dynamic which is good for building Abs?
