Odds are you're missing out on gains because you're not doing a strength training technique that was used for generations. Ones that strength athletes swore by. Made them strong. Made their muscles hard. Developed incredible physiques. And for some reason, nobody does them except for high-level strength athletes. Nobody does them. And they're easy to do, you guys. You're missing out. If you don't use isometrics in your training, you are not building the muscle you could. You're not getting as strong as you could, and you're not getting the gains that you could. It's very easy to do as well. We're going to talk about it right now. Isometrics, why you should do them. Do you
think if we talk about this enough that we could shift the fitness culture to the point like we saw? To the
point where you come up with an invention that helps
it? Not that much. Dang. Not that much. That's a lot of volume.
Yeah.
I would just be impressed and happy with what we watched happen with the squatting.
Yeah.
Squatting and deadlifting. Yeah. Like, I mean, we all started at a time in the fitness space when the squat rack could go empty all day long. Yeah. That... Impossible in a gym now. Not anymore. Impossible. There is no way a day goes by in a gym and that squat rack doesn't get used all day long.
Definitely not. I'm not exaggerating. Every time I would deadlift, a member would stop me and go, hey, what are you doing?
You're going to hurt yourself. What is that? I'm like,
this is a deadlift. A what? Nobody knew what they were. Nobody did them. And I agree. I would love to see... people utilize isometrics, you guys, the data on them, it's one of the most studied forms of strength training.
