What Kind Of Routine Should You Do For Isometrics???

Although there are limitless exercises in Isometrics and the many ways you can apply them, what should you do if you were to do a routine? The truth is, they can be added to any routine or can be stand alone if you wish. If you're into sports, you can use Isometrics to aid in the development of your skill set whether it's through pitching, hitting, throwing, jumping, shooting, taking down an opponent, slapping on a submission hold or whatever.

You can create a routine where you do one body part a day that takes no more than a few minutes and go on about your day. You can do multiple body parts and round out the whole body within a 3-4 day period. Do one upper body workout one day and do the lower body the next, picking out the various parts of the body you want to work on. It's really a matter of what your goals are.

In the 60's during the Isometric craze of the cold war, Olympic Weightlifters in the U.S used Isometrics to increase the strength not only in their lifts but aiding in their speed and precision. Men like Steve Justa & Alexander Zass used Isometrics to increase their health and strength through sheer practice of various angles and developed their bodies while also increasing the strength of their bones, tendons & ligaments. Henry Wittenberg who won Olympic Gold Medals in Freestyle Wrestling used Isometrics to dominate opponents. The Great Gama used Isometrics to overthrow every opponent he faced and went undefeated in 5000 matches over the course of his career.

The routine that best suits you will be the one that works. I understand that sounds very vague and you want the "Secret Sauce" that will make a routine make you Superman or Wonder Woman but we are all different and we all different sets of goals and we must work according to our level of fitness and getting the most out of what we want to achieve. I've had periods where I did full body Isometrics almost daily or go through a routine where I hit the whole body in a 3 day period and repeated the cycle. Isometrics can do wonders if you act accordingly and learn the proper techniques and breathing patterns that will create results and achieving your goals.
