Re: Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy from Statics (Isometrics)

Here is a new equipment maker that has developed static training equipment.

Any comments?

Can anyone point me to any studies on static training (isometrics)

that measured and evaluated the following:

- muscle strength gained from isometrics?

- was there a limited carryover to full range due to joint angle training was

done at?

- was there any muscle hypertrophy, or were gains more neural?

- is there an issue with elevating blood pressure when training with statics?

Hi Jerry,

I'm 58 and am suffering from OA in my knee joints and wake up with back ache if

I do heavy overhead presses.I am particularly interested in your isometric

exercise program you mentioned, especially from the loading point of view.

I have since reduced much of my current load of training and have increased reps

and even resoughted to super-setting and the likes so as to maintain muscle

mass/quality.

Thanks as stopping working out is the last thing I'd want to do.

Hi

With a little imagination most any worth while machine can be set up for

isometrics, e.g., overload the machine and set the mechanical athlete interface

to desired position and isometric to hearts content. I've been promoting Iso

training for arthritics for 20 years -- it has yet to fail. 3-4 positions 3 sets

0f 5 sec reps each position.
