I've actually got a real question.....
I was talking with a friend earlier this evening. He was talking with a personal trainer about lifting techniques. One thing was chest training. Iguess it might be able to apply to other areas, but let's stick to the chest.
I believe it was called 'Static' lifting. Basically, take a weight that is way heavier than normal, and unrack it, lower it just a little bit for a count of *** seconds then re rack.
I think I've read about this type of training a long time ago, but only for an occasional workout, like doing negatives.
I think this kind of workout can / will increase your strength, but limit your flexibility / range of motion.
What do you think?Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results
Nobody cares what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow. What is important is what you are doing NOW to solve our problem

I didn't think so, but does seem a bit unorthodox.
Ever tried it?Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

I recently read an article reference to negatives that advises this form of training causes a huge spike in cortisol. I haven't heard about statis, but it sounds very much like a negatives style.
Weight lifting is like " Mind over Matter". If my body doesn't mind---the weight doesn't matter!!!!!

Interesting read. I wonder if anyone here has ever tried that approach. For the last 4 weeks I have been using Sergio Oliva's 8 sets of 8 workout and have increased my size and strength quite a bit. The SCT requires a spotter in the gym which I don't utilize.

Isometric training doesn't require that it be the only form of training you use in a session.
I use it quite frequently as a precursor to a heavy set.
About negatives and cortisol: Any major form of stress will release cortisol. Cortisol is not the devil's tool; without it, you wouldn't be able to grow. Its part of the adaptive process just as much as the anabolic hormones are.
