ISOMETRIC OBSERVATIONS

UPDATE:
8/12/2020

 After 2 1/2 years of experimenting with Free Weight & Isometric combinations. I have found that the best WEIGHT LOSS/Muscle building program for me was the following:
*12-30 second Static Holds, Wasting time: Anything over 20 seconds does NOT work the muscle properly

*Combining Isometrics with Dynamic Full sets with Dumbbells or Bands, is the best of both worlds. (HYSOMETRICS)

*Isometrics Alone will NOT build muscle size. A Combination of weights, holds and bands must be used.

*Isometric Holds will burn double the calories as a free weight exercise.

*OVERCOMING Isometric HOLDS ONLY will build around 30% more strength for REAL LIFE!

*Isometric Holds will help Injury recovery faster than PT.

*People Over 50 years old should workout 3 times per week to compensate for muscle loss.

Do the movement slowly so that you feel the resistance of your muscles. Hold..Hold..Hold.. for 10 seconds. Lower your shoulders back down and breathe out before repeating the movement. Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions to start. ...
