👍✊💥

Thanks! :-D

Lol same

Me too

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A man of culture

Big fax

I love the reference 😂

Hxh ref?

how long before you saw results?

@@BobbyJ529 it's hard to tell because of practice and the other exercises I was doing. I wasn't doing them consistently either. But I could tell it was working.

He also mentioned “stretched isometrics” in one of his other videos. I’m curious but I can’t find much on the topic.

@@thatlumberjack thats just basic stretch holds

That is an extremely cool use for it! Good luck ✊

Would you mind sharing this info?

@@monsieurLDN Sure. Go through the steps for your draw process and add resistance to those steps. The police training book suggested using the steering wheel while parked or driving as cops spend a lot of time in the car. The seatbelt catch is positioned near where most hip holsters are. Grab it similarly to a pistol grip and pull as hard as you can and hold for however long you can..repeat. Hands underneath the wheel and pull up as if you're bringing the gun up to fire and hold, press hands forward on the wheel and hold as if pushing the gun out to firing position. Squeeze the wheel with the trigger finger and hold. Then try working the trigger finger with fast repetitions to increase trigger speed. I use the car example because I drive a lot, any place where you can re create the draw steps with isometric tension will work. At least it works for me. A grip device that lets you work independent fingers will help your trigger speed as well. You can find those on Amazon for twenty bucks and various weights.

More examples of these sorts of exercises?

It's isometrics if your pitting muscle against muscle but not moving but dynamic tension when pitting muscle against muscle whilst moving. Pushing yourself to power by john e Peterson is just about the most thorough book on this.

Pitting muscle against muscle with movement is called dynamic tension also known as dynamic self resistance. Isometrics by definition is static with no movement.

Haha! My wife is always like 'why are you uploading that photo to Instagram where you're staring weirdly at the camera'. Glad to know there is an audience for it 😂

Wow that's awesome! What's he like?

@@TheBioneer He's one of the nicest, humble guys you could ever meet. He's still very strong, but has been transitioning to being more of a mentor / coach / trainer the last number of years. I actually met him on the set of the film "The Mighty Atom" years ago. It's about the vaudeville strongman Joseph Greenstein, aka "The Mighty Atom". You can find it on Amazon Prime Video or Vimeo. It's a great film. I've been training with him ever since. The greatest thing is, if I need to talk / chat about anything, I just have to call / text. Plus, he's only 2-1/2 hours away from where I live. Good talking to you :)

Thanks!

Interesting! With a light weight though I'm presuming?

@@TheBioneer Actually with 900lbs and a really big focus on the technique

Haha thanks man! Or snap it and punch myself in the head!

@@TheBioneer hahhaha 😂. Anyway man thanks for all the information about training so far. I am doing Krav Maga and calisthenics for few years now. I think it is time for me to focus on isometrics and muscle endurance training A.K.A. The Spartan Lee hahahahah

What bar is that anyway? I can't find it anywhere online

@@dendenp9 Actually, it looks like part of a chair leg.

do that with power twister

I didn't know about this, thanks for the awesome suggestion :-D

Cool idea thanks :-D I think Ross Edgely is writing a book about that right now that should be a pretty good read!

Oh yeah for sure. Muscle is muscle and test will enhance it all over. Though in the case of growth hormone that's something else - unrestricted growth of ears and nose :-/ I'll definitely be covering neck training soon, and maybe I can do something about the face in future. Here's an interesting tidbit though: did you know that your 'good side' is likely your good side because you have better control over the muscle there? It's almost always your dominant side! Though perhaps not kn my case as I have a scar there :-P

Thanks man!

Other way around if it's overcoming isometrics/ballistic. In this case use them as you might a very heavy lift. You may even benefit from the post activation potentiation giving you a little more strength in your next movements (if you're not completely fatigued that is!)

@@TheBioneer Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks!

Interesting shout! There's a lot to dig into there. I'm planning on doing a video on the beserkers at some point in future and that will likely be a big thrust of that one :-)

I use stairs to trigger a small adrenaline pump, just miss one step when going down

And to you!

Well it's obvs a bit of a joke but tougher than it sounds! I don't think you'll be jumping onto the moon from it though... Jax Blade did a cool vid on it :-D

@@TheBioneer Would be awesome to have a collab between you two.

I am no expert same age... I let pain be my guiding signal for more time required to heal [pain = red light for exercising that muscle group right now] and the lessening/abating of pain [ = amber light] absence of pain = green light for readiness to exercise that muscle group again.

Actually it's just left over metal from an old electric piano stand!

Yep! Coming soon :-D

Working in the mace training very soon! Thanks for the awesome suggestions :-D

@@TheBioneer waiting waiting 😀😀😄

"Are chairs a good look" Could you please clarify what you mean? Also how are chairs an isometric squat?

@@trevbarlow9719 the exercise called “ a chair” is where you lower yourself into squat position and then hold isometrically in that position

Watch his video on tendon strength training

1000% I used to make drop sets like this all the time - and would also include biometrics, static holds, flush sets and more. Using the same muscle but in different ways works wonders. I'm building up to a video on that and it will be one of the core ideas in my upcoming book :-D

@@TheBioneer and the good thing about isometrics besides it's strength gains is it is time efficient so it might fit perfectly for most people Especially students and people who work in one or more jobs

Never mind…another video of yours explained what it was. 😀

Great progress! There are a few possibilities - one is that the pinch grip and grip used on the hand dynamometer are actually quite different. The latter likely has much more little finger involvement - which actually accounts for a surprising amount of your grip. Try rope climbs and see if that helps. I'm actually considering doing a quick video on this very soon, so stay tuned!

@@TheBioneer cheers, the dynometer does have an uncomfortable grip and does feel different even to the traditional style hand strengthener . i look forward to that video. its an interesting area
