That’s so true! I wonder if it’s because he’s so upfront about being a hobbyist researcher that’s here to inform people about what’s out there. It seems a lot of other creators try to brand themselves as experts whereas the bioneer isn’t really trying to sell us any specific lifestyle.

@@thatlumberjack The typical fitness tuber is the type that jar hes own farts for the late hours alone.... I cant stand athlean x and such guys ,they so obviously use special drugs but will never be honest about anything....

Agreed !!!!

Bioneer is the best fitness guy period in all my years on ytube. Outstanding tips

Hey man I’m 120 ish pounds and play basketball where I get pushed around a lot. I’m also only 5’7. Could you tell me what isometrics you did to get strong? It would really help me. Thx.

Do all normal excerdises isometric but deadlift and squat i would not usr overcoming isometrics. Use yielding isometrics. It is mich safer for this compound excerdises.

@@k.r.4952 It depends on the day and how I physically feel to be honest, I'm fit but at the same time realise that I'm no spring chicken 🐔 and will yield when I'm not feeling 100%. Good comment and great reply, thank you. 😊

@@mahri9022 I'm not you, nor could I ever be and visa versa but what you might want to do is think in terms of years rather than weeks or months. Do the basic Isometrics and adjust as your body informs you of what is working and what isn't. Other than the basics, there's no one size fits all here. Some Isometrics might even hinder your basketball performance. Do your research, start a chart and measure your progress week to week as you can't improve on what you don't measure. I hope this helps. 😊

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this is why I like looking into this stuff. Keeps it fresh and interesting :-)

Isometric training with rope, was interesting. Never thought about that.

I was already bored with it!

@@TheBioneer Link to the sources that say we can only use 30% of our muscle fibers? Sorry, I'm kind of skeptical, because if it is true then increasing muscle recruitment is just what I was looking for.

@@Safouan0 actually that type of training is increasing that % while body building could potentially decrease it if done with too high repetition too little weight. (your gonna get stronger but your strength to weight ratio will go down) From what I know olympic style weight lifting get you in the 90+ % for elite Olympian.

Great to see your post here. Just found this guy last night.

Wow mn very nice, i wach some of you videos and are very good😊

I see bro your strong nice man 👍

reps with isometrics ?

@@jasonvoorhees8899 try 10 reps...each exercise...10 seconds time or what ever you prefer results are awesome

@@cliffordbeardy6984 in which range of motion ? Half way ? Beginning ? Flexed position ?

@@jasonvoorhees8899 Mix it up...for punching purposes Try 2-3 ranges of motion of pure pressure 7 second holds..breathe out when doing each strenuous variation (very important)..for the external rotator cuff arm at sidesuse a pillow inbetween arm lit an ribs..an maybe for force use a good side rope to circle around your wrist an give her shit..or make a hand cuff like wrap around your wrists an pull..10 sec.x10 breathing out...

You know Jason isometrics can get boring...have a punching bag close by ready to punch..practicing the motions you are exercising with..

OC Jones the body is one piece and just about everything will be used to some extent

That's how I'm looking at it now Eric. I just started isometrics a week ago and already pretty strong, mainly train for strength. I can't find it anywhere but about how long do you think it will take me to bend a wrench, or how long did it take you?

WordUp Magazines first time I tried. I was training under Nj’s Superman the late Greg Matonick and had bent plenty of steel with him before having a go at the wrench. There is variance in materials and wrenches are all over the map.

WordUp Magazines one other thing, if this is something you want to seriously pursue I highly recommend getting some coaching from Chris Rider. He’s my coach for classic feats of strength

Hello sir. To train for isometrics to achieve the strength to bend steel, how many sets i should do, how many minutes of rest in between sets? And is it good to do it before bicep curls?

It will puff your muscles up after six months, it's not super huge body building, but definitely adds size.

🙏

Genius

This is the type of comment we're all looking for. Thanks! 🙏🏿

Should I do it for deadlift

I used to do what was told was a static hold during my pull-up workouts and I definitely noticed they felt easier to do during the following weeks’ workouts

is it good for hypertrophy?

@@4ntifreez Not directly but having increased strength can help you train better.

Charles Atlas never taught Isometrics . He taught Isotonics which is working a group of muscles against the other throughout movement of the parts involved.

Apparently you are too young to remember Charles Atlas. His training course was completely based on using your body as a resistance and pitting one body part against another.

@@STBRetired1 who?

@@-eea32 Charles Atlas. Type him up

@@amortality999 I actually recall a couple of bodybuilders in high school ( circa 1980) that were into the Charles Atlas course. They were pretty well ripped, too.

Your wise more than you know.

You know your stuff! Classic issue :-D

Lmao nobody gives a shit buddy

@@Steven-gs8oh i do

Wow! You actually become wiser as you grow older, and you are able to pursue your passions because you realize that relationships are difficult and that working on yourself and being alone is the greatest thing you can ever do for yourself. I started working on all 9 areas of life when I told my ex to leave already. It has been a year now and I am the happiest I've ever been, reaching all my goals.

I get a steel bar and a chain that is in the ground and put the bar in the chain and hold for about 20 to 30 seconds.

Yes I used to get light-headed from not breathing properly, good point! As someone else commented, I should have thought to include that in the vid. I like to combine an overcoming isometric at the start of a set, then perform regular movements as a reverse pyramid set and finally end on a yielding isometric post-failure. Kind of similar effect :-D Thanks for the tips!

Jealous!

Now I just do overcoming isometrics. But the tip about the chain and two Trapeze ring handles? I use an S hook to vary length. It's amazing how many isometric exercises you can do with it. You're a very sharp young man. I enjoy your videos.

There is recent literature that states the duration of hold is more important then intensity level (50-70% of max) to build tendon strength & by extension--strength. Frequency is secondary consideration.

Bro nobody 'invented' isometrics, they're a fundamental part of how the human body is able to work. We've been doing isometric activities since our ancestors were holding onto tree branches.

what made you get into isometrics training ?

@@jasonvoorhees8899 Back then it was often seeing a Charles Atlas ad in a comic book or magazine. Although David has a few more decades on Earth than me so maybe different in his time.

Wow your a monster cool

Isometrics comes from Greek language( ISOMETRIA) and essentially means "equal measures". "Metrics" stands for measures and "Iso" stands for equal! When pressuring a wall we are not really doing isometrics, as part of the energy spent is absorbed by and through the wall, and therefore WALL "RESPONSE" is no longer equal. It means that Newton's third Law is not quiet correct as he did not take in consideration this possibility, much less calculated the density of the materials involved. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when pressuring a brick wall "reaction" is going to be much different than when making pressure on a wall made out of cotton( a softer surface will of course absorb even more energy) As for the static issue, you can also walk or move while doing isometric exercises, so it's not completely static, you see my point? Bottom line: Isometrics is using one part of the body which is governed by an intelligent command ( the brain) against another part of the body which is governed by an intelligent command as well, and far as I know, a wall , is a inanimate matter that is not governed by a will power. Isometrics can be trained against an opponent like the ancient Spartans used to, when organized in couples. But self isometrics goes much beyond as this can literally become a battle of brain hemispheres. Let me give you an example: When holding both hands in front with arms down and almost straight, making a pressure with the left whole arm downwards , against the right hand , the real work that is been done is a brain exercise as the right hemisphere which commands the entire left hand side of the body "tells it" to press the right palm downwards , while simultaneously the left hemisphere which commands the whole right hand side of the body tells the right arm and palm , to equally resist!( STATICS) in opposite direction It 's an "x" brain/body scheme. I know isometrics very well as I have been studying and training it since 1975. While training isometrics it is vitally important to implement correct breathing . When exhaling you ought to do an continuous "ssssss" sound through the mouth, otherwise you will damage the heart severely . There six different way to train the same isometric exercise and breathing explanation should not be neglected. min. 15:02 how it should be! Left fist pushes the right one upwards with equal resistance , while exhaling and doing the "ssssss" sound through the mouth. No rope or any other outside materials are needed. And to conclude. Isometrics only bring good results when doing in three different angles. So you should do the exercise freely in three different levels. Most people who teach Isometrics don't know what it's really all about. In order to get big muscles Isometrics time length should be of 3 minutes while deeply inhaling and exhaling through the nose. As said before. Most people who teaches it or trains it for a long time don't know what it's really all about. Training is for short periods of time will never make your muscles grow.By the way, Charles Atlas never taught Isometrics . He taught Isotonics which is working a group of muscles against the other throughout movement of the parts involved. Do you have page on Facebook?

David Boyd how frequently do you train w/isometrics?

It will definitely do that! Try using a belt or similar and using it to brace your fist against a post or tree. Train at different joint angles using ballistic isometrics for max benefit.

@@TheBioneer you are correct I think

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 And good luck!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I shall try!

Bioneer has great explinations

Thank you kindly! More on the way :-D

Thanks a lot! :D

Awesome, glad it was helpful! Good luck with the isometrics, let us know how you get on!

Thanks :-D Yeah there's loads of stuff you can do, and I plan on exploring it more in a future video. One commenter suggested using a rope ladder, which is genius!

What exercises were they can u tell

Handstands are good for shoulders and such as well.

RDJ2 ok thanks

Yeah he's awesome! And that's excellent news, good luck with the training!

I used my Gi belt and I can do a half hour workout, just using the belt. I'm defintly getting stronger. I hurt my backup using weights.
