Overcoming Isometrics (secret super exercise)
Overcoming isometrics = pushing as hard as possible into something that doesn’t move
Who they’re for
- Athletes who are EXPERIENCED in the weight room (at least 3 years exp)
- Jumpers / sprinters
- Athletes with beat up joints who still need high output
Not for beginners or athletes under the age of 17 (unless you have
Why use them
- Train the nervous system to recruit more muscle fibers
- Improve max force + RFD
- High stimulus, very low joint stress
- Angle specific strength gains (huge for takeoff positions)
How to do them
- Set the position
- Push max for 3–6 sec
- 4–6 sets, long rest
- This is a max intent exercise, stop when you feel your effort drops
Where they fit? Early in the workout or before jumps/sprints.
Overcoming ISOs dont build muscle, they just help strength show up faster.
