Norden Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Is there a downside to do only static/isometric training and neglect dynamic stuff? Can it even lead to injury or some sort of imbalance? Pinch wise I only use a block that I do holds with. When it comes to wrists I have noticed that I really prefer doing plate curls (those where you do a bicep curl holding the plate with a straight wrist. "Wigren Curls"?), and bottom up press with kettlebells. I feel like those lifts give me more pure strength than repping out with wristcurls and wrist rollers and pony clamps and whatnot.

Jones1874 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 "If it ain't broke don't fix it.." Go with the flow but try and be conscious of any niggles along the way. It's a case of each to his own. None of us are built the same. For example, many board member use thick handles. If I train with anything for than a 1.5" Manila rope, the joints in my hand play up. Go for it buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The problem with Isos is your muscles get very strong very fast. Your bones and connective tissue can't keep up with how fast your muscles are growing. Just keep that in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep that in mind. how much longer does it take the bones and connective tissue to catch up with the muscles? id like to know because ive started to add them in once a week for each body part. i do 9 holds in different positions with roughly 5 second holds. just like in the video below. ill alternate each week with and without the spring coils. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
