Ballistic Isometrics
Ballistic isometrics are sometimes also referred to as explosive isometrics. Either way, you might be forgiven for thinking that this sounds like a contradiction. 

The idea is that you are going to try to recruit max effort as quickly as possible against the immovable object – exploding into the effort and thereby potentially increasing your starting strength and ability to quickly reach top power for explosive movements.
Consider it an Explosion Rep.
The nervous system never allows you to recruit 100% of your muscle fiber, or even 100% of your larger, fast-twitch containing motor units. There are always some left in reserve to prevent injury and to conserve energy. So as you start to fatigue the motor units you are currently using, you can send a new neural drive to recruit even more large ones. This will create NEW Neuromuscular pathways!

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. ...
