The Incredible Isometrics course
In Incredible Isometrics, Dr. Kenneth Jay takes you through the theory and application of isometric strength training. From the history of isometrics in sports to the early strength training protocols used in rehabilitation to modern-day isometrics. You will learn the important programming variables and the important distinctions between holding isometrics and pushing isometrics. You will also learn how to use isometrics for hypertrophy, maximal strength, tendon development and explosiveness.
