isometrics

Post by anima »

hi, i've heard about isometrics for some time now and i heard that lots of IFBB pros do iso'

i was wondering, how does it work and what are the effects of isometric exercises? what kind of muscle training is it?
&
do they only work if u have lots of muscles?



thanks,

good for sticking points through range of motion (middle part of bench press where you usually fail) and such...not the best for muscle gains though i don't think...never done them except as part of a vertical program
