Isometrics
Are deep stretches good for hypertrophy after a compound lift?
Okay, so if I did back squats for a standard 5x5 with 85%, and instead of doing something like leg extensions or leg curls for 3x10, I would do something like deep sissy squats with just my bodyweight and contracted isometrically at the bottom for 30 seconds, repeating 2 to 3 times. After that, horizontal splits, contracting hard at the bottom.
