Thank you.

I'm guessing that it's keeping the muscle under tension for an extended period of time, though I'm not sure...

Being Drawn and Quartered would have a similar effect I think.

That's what it seems like to me. If it is isometrics you're talking about, you can do basically an unlimited number of exercises due to the fact that you can use any possible plane of motion using just your body, a floor, and a wall. You'd really have to name something you're striving for in order to get a specific answer.

The only tension w/o I've heard of is on the UD2.0 diet. It consists of doing 2-3 sets of 6-12 reps per exerccise. Is that what you're after?
