First, I know that the best way to get feedback on how exercises will affect you is to do them yourself :) But, I'm curious about whether or not other have tried these, and what their experiences may have been.
Sooooo, that being said, has anyone tried performing ISO's in the following protocols???
1) An ISO followed IMMEDIATELY by one or more DSR's.
2) An ISO formed semi-isometric, meaning you move the appendage a FEW degrees back and forth during the contraction.
I bring this up because I often tend to have "issues" with the static contraction. It may be that I just need to practice the technique more. But, right now I just don't get the "pump" I do with dynamic movements.
I'm also wondering how much movement you can do before it is no longer an isometric contraction? More to the point, with that amount of movement do you lose the ISO affects and/or benefits?????
I think this third protocol has been covered before. But, it's early and I'm not entirely certain.
3) Performing ISO's one contraction right after another. The protocol I'm thinking of is something like this.
Inhale as you're increase the tension, told the contraction for a 5 count while exhaling. Then, while still exhaling, decrease the tension. On the next inhale, you're starting in on the next contraction in your sequence.
Again, I'm simply looking for input on what others may have experienced with these. So, there is NO right or wrong answers there. I've already begun the process of my own "experiment of one".
