Losing Weight Because Of Isometrics?

 I weighed in this morning at 256.2, I'm now just mere inches from my first (semi) goal of losing 10 pounds. I'll put up pics soon and I do see little changes and it's mainly due to Isometrics. Using the Isometric Power Belt, I keep somewhat of a series of exercises in a routine but always doing different exercises in addition to the routine or doing something completely different altogether.

I like to do Curls, Upright Rows, Deadlifts, Overhead Presses and Bow & Arrow Pulls as part of my routine and switch them around to avoid doing the same order over and over. Some of the other Isometric Exercises that I love to do is doing pulldowns, pulling as if I'm ripping a phonebook or pulling on a lawn mower, Bench Press type exercise, step up Isometrics to build strength in the quads, calves and knees and my personal favorite squat; The Zercher Iso Squat. The workouts don't last very long and only do them a few times a week and if I feel like my recovery isn't doing good, I change it up and do things on other days and do no more than a couple to 3 Iso Workouts a week.

My intention was not to really lose weight and dealing with other things in my life as of late, I'm utilizing more of the Isometrics instead of what I normally do. It's worked out for the most part and the Iso Workouts have been a huge blessing. Life throws you curveballs and you never see them coming so you adapt and learn what you can do despite the bullshit that happens. When I got more in tuned to the Iso Workouts, small changes were happening that I wasn't getting in a while, I was seeing more definition, feeling lighter and stronger in the other workouts I was doing and as you have guessed, losing weight. I'm still in pretty good shape as far as conditioning and muscular endurance and strength were concerned but the Isometrics sort of enhanced this attributes more lately than what I'm used to.

With the countless exercises you can do with Isometrics, only a fraction of that you really only need to do but there are so many ways to experiment and finding the right ones or the ones that challenge your weaknesses and make them your strength. One thing I like to add to the belt is a wooden dowel that I can slide on and do Isometrics that way similar to how Bruce Lee used a chain with a handle to build his strength with Isometrics. Doing the Curls and Deadlifts really tackle the muscles, tendons and ligaments when I use the dowel and feel it way more in my abdominals than just using the belt. Because of this and my consistency with Isometrics, I'm seeing far greater definition in my abdominals muscles and these days I rarely ever do a sit-up. 

The weight loss and fat loss has been a great part of the journey with Isometrics but that's not my end goal. It's more about building strength from as many angles as possible and being able to handle other tasks without having to worry about getting injured. I don't like talking about my goals for fear of saying something and then I just drop everything, I've been known to do that, what I will say is my journey is more about building resilience and conditioning my body to where it wouldn't be easy to hurt me and build strong tendons for the long run. Ever since that messed up accident, I'm driven to build the best possible strength in making my bones the strongest they can be in the safest manner and develop almost an indestructible structure.
