Important Aspects Of Overcoming Isometrics To Create Neural Endurance

 Our Neural Endurance is a reference to how much time we can continue to send signals to the muscles so we can push a continuance for them to keep working. This form of endurance is beyond just our Physical Stamina of the muscles themselves. In truth, our stamina is more on the lines of the mental game. How long can we sustain this level of concentration to send strong signals to the muscles we are working?

There are mental tricks or "hacks" to help send those signals to the muscles; one way to do it is to work an exercise and let counting reps just go out the fucking window. Go as long as you possible can. One example of this is let's say Bodyweight Squats, how many can you normally do? This time, don't think or count the reps, just keep going. You may even go past that threshold of that number you can normally do. Is it like the Jedi Mind Trick? Not really and here's the reason why.....We have become accustomed to doing a certain number of reps (like a gold standard or something) so our minds can shut off that neural signal so we can count those reps. If we don't count, the mind doesn't have numbers to think about so it doesn't shut off those signals.

Neural Endurance can also factor in how we can build muscle. Effectively, a program based on Muscle Building Principles, tends to require a level of pushing the muscles to a high form of fatigue. This is really only possible to instill growth. 

Now, how does Overcoming Isometrics take on the idea of utilizing Neural Endurance? In movement, it requires a certain level of strength. Continuing to perform a movement will go only so long but only by producing some level of tension or contracting the muscle(s). When those muscles have been pushed to where fatigue becomes too much, stop the movement. It can be difficult to generate strength & endurance at the same time because, the more strength you use, the less time you'll be performing, with endurance, you back off the tension in order to last longer. Overcoming Isometrics requires practically no movement at all, meaning you'll never reach a level of muscular failure and completely stop the exercise. You can go hard and maintain tension as you maximize strength and endurance at the same time.

This advantage makes Overcoming Isometrics a bad ass way to create Neural Training that is jammed packed. It is another benefit to be able to train these types of Isometrics everyday and make numerous progress. Keep being amazingly awesome and practice your Isometrics.
