Isometrics Are Just As Good….
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Isometric training, where you hold your muscle in the fully contracted, “flexed”, position, was found in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research to be just as effective on muscle performance as plyometric training, yet without the risk of injury from impact that’s often associated with plyometrics.
In my opinion, isometric holds are very effective at not only muscular performance, but also at stimulating muscle building and gains in body weight (with the addition of proper caloric intake).
