Recently I’ve been playing around with adding isometric holds into my bodybuilding work
.
After 2-3 sets of an exercise the working muscles are pumped full of blood and the mind-muscle connection is primed…
.
So, I perform a 30 second isometric hold in the peak contraction position of the given exercise
.
This allows for an intense contraction and heightens the mind-muscle connection as well as causes extra damage to the targeted muscle(s)
.
I then perform an additional 1-2 sets of regular style contraction reps followed by another 30 second isometric hold before moving on to the next exercise
.
In total it’s a small time investment but can really help improve mind-muscle connection and increase your growth stimulus from the workout
.
It can be used for a lot of different exercises and would be great for adding into the training of stubborn body parts
