Got up this morning, took two scoops of Spark Energy and hammered out some awesome Isometric Training. Hit many muscle groups and switching from one position to another either by adjusting the strap I have or doing bodyweight.
Curls
Wall Sits
Pull Aparts
Chest Squeeze With A Wall
Overhead Press
Core
Hybrid Squat
Hybrid Push-Up
Side Of The Legs
Back Of The Legs
Wall Lateral Raises
All for 7-12 Seconds of intense contraction. Even felt like I got a bit of cardio in there because I wasn't resting other than going from one position to another. No impact on the joints, keeping things tight and strong along with waking up the body feeling like a million bucks.
Strength Training in its purest form. The armor that many need especially as they get older and feeling like a boss. This was a great session to get into since yesterday was quite a training day. If you read my recent article before this one, you know that I started the day with Joint Loosening and went into a Sapate HIIT Workout for 8 Rounds. I did say that I might do a Dopa Session later which I eventually did. However; I tackled my neck first doing my 400 Rep Workout with the Neck Flex, channeling the man with the World's Strongest Neck Mike The Machine Bruce. A few minutes after that little "Warm Up", I went to the park and did a 600 Rep Dopa Circuit of 5 Exercises, 12 Reps each for 10 Rounds. Sweated like Niagara Falls since it was close to 90 out and muggy as shit but it was still fun to do.
Being a little light today since the Isometrics were my big workout for the day. May do some crawling or go for a nice walk. It is summer and getting some sun is a great thing to do. Want to get into Isometrics and get in some bad ass training without wearing and tearing on the joints? Grab Matt Schifferle's Overcoming Isometrics course which has some of the best info and training entities on the subject in many years. Get it on Kindle or as a Physical Book and learn the REAL aspects of Isometrics. Not some carbon copy cookie cutter course that is borderline boring and tedious compared to books like these. Plus OI shows originality and science behind it, some others barely squeak by with a few holds that doesn't do much in terms of real world strength, joint health & mobility and act like it's the best there is. I feel sorry for whoever has to read that stuff let alone waste money on it.
Another great book on the subject is probably even more valuable in terms of who wrote it. Isometrics by Olympic Gold Medal Wrestler Henry Wittenberg. A classic that still hold merit after more than 6 decades since its release. If you're a true student of Physical Culture, you might want to check this shit out.
Be amazingly awesome and get those Isometrics in. Your body will not only thank you but will have you utilizing energy and strength that is needed, not just looking better.
