One of the best pieces of equipment for working out, whether at the gym or at home, is a good pair of dumbbells. There are so many exercises you can do with dumbbells, and so many variations to make a dumbbell workout your best workout. A great way to workout with dumbbells is doing isometric exercise, which means you are contracting the muscles real hard without moving the joint a lot. It is a more static position while doing the exercises.
You can use this method in a lot of your workouts to get some really great results with building more muscle, and doing it quickly. This is also great for you guys that have joint pain or lack of mobility, so make sure to incorporate this in your next workout. Experiment with this type of exercising to see if it will benefit you in your workouts.

Great video thanks
Does isometric exercise ward off age related sarcopenia?
just what I needed to see!
I try to do 3 different points
Say high mid and just before bottoming out
20 secs eatch
How many sets per exercise?
Always good information. One caveat, a muscle needs to be under load for 60 seconds for hypertrophy.
This is much more effective than you may think. Do a little bit of research on Bruce Lee. Amazing what Isometrics did for him.
Great content. Thank you. How often do you drink alcohol?
Im about to hit 52. This just popped up into my feed lol. Thanks for vid.
Thank you for the way you take the time to really explain everything so well !!
As a guy with arthritis AND tendonitis, this is SO helpful. Thank you.
What is the brand of dumbbells you are using?
What dumbbells are they?
How much weight should we use? Is it gonna be the actual weight for the normal exersice or what?
Could we do a Seated DB Shoulder Press rather than a standing Side Lateral Raise for the shoulders, and just hold the dumbbells for 10 seconds at the top, plus 10 seconds at Shoulder level with the tension on the shoulders; if we have balance issues, and can't stand for 20 seconds straight while holding the dumbbells?
(I do DB Side Lateral Raises one arm at a time while seated.) Or would doing them one arm at a time while seated, and just holding them for 10 seconds at the top for 2 Sets per each arm/side still work the same way?
I have golfers elbow and stopped doing barbell curls. Maybe I should try that for the meantime.
Good God, you talk too much…
Thanks Mark I’ll try those this afternoon
can you do squats with isometrics.
What kind of boxed breakfast cereal is that in the kitchen? lol
That’s really motivating. I’ll definitely give that a go
Thanks
This looks AMAZING, is this a form of Time Under Tension??
