>>76265580>>>just reduce your total work by 25-50%>In physics, work is done when a force causes a displacement. Isometric holds, however, involve muscle contractions where the muscle length and joint angle don't change, meaning no displacement occurs. Therefore, no work is done in the physics sense during an isometric hold. >While the muscles are working isometrically (maintaining tension), the lack of movement means no energy is transferred to displace an object. Therefore, even though the muscles are experiencing tension and fatigue, no work is done on the external environment. what's the logical fallacy u're employing here bot? u're using "work" in physics sense in the context of human body where resistance to external force is counted as zero - clearly false
there was always this unspoken conclusion that
>well if u do half the motion your muscles are gonna get stiff short and will look funny and it's bullshit, it's the other way around, if u actually USE muscle in perfect setting for the muscle to contract it grows big healthy and does not shorten or stiffen
take benchpress as example: benching requires u to retract shoulders and while actively benching elbow is behind torso - most of pec will be switched off during pushup/bench, only costal part is not snagging on ribcage and u wind up with mangled bitch bench tits with void in the middle and under clavicle - pecs can't be used in full and as they grow mangled and weak in parts they stiffen and shorten
how should u bench then to load totality of pec? like jay cutler - halfreps with protracted shoulders

or do not bench at all, just do low crossovers for pecs, and skip the
>imma press nowpart and stay in isometric hold, u ain't gonna turn into toad if u do i promise, all u're gonna do is load whole muscle of pectoralis major with continuous time under tension on muscle belly
