Explain why this wouldn't work
>>77149724It would, but not in the way you'd think. He's sucking at weightlifting, but he's doing isometrics
>>77149724Basically no time under tension and your body will send effectively no signals to the brain for muscle hypertrophy. It's like saying why can't I sprint for 5 minutes till my heart pounds 190 bpm instead of running at normal pace for 1 hour to get more stamina?
>>77149724Let him cook.
>>77149842>It's like saying why can't I sprint for 5 minutes till my heart pounds 190 bpm instead of running at normal pace for 1 hour to get more stamina?That's what I do. I also lift like OP.
>>77149724The socks are just the cherry on top, this kid's funny
>>77149724>>77149842Retards discover intensityThe closest you can get to intensity is 1rms, same for sprinting when it comes to cardio. Yes it would work but you have to micromanage it and not rely solely on it otherwise you'll burn out very quick
>>77149724>Explain why this wouldn't workhe's just doing bad isometricsalso isometrics do not really cause hypertrophy (only secondary)you mainly gain muscle endurance and stabilitybut isometrics are fairly bad at actually growing new muscle fiberthey are great at supporting it thoughthe way he's doing them is completely useless thoughway to short the ideal time for isometrics is somewhere from 30s up to 100s
>>77149724>Work=force*distance>distance=0He's doing 0 "work" so he will get 0 results.
>>77149724the opinion of a scrawny blonde guy with dreads, trying to have dreads, in the process of having dreads or any other affiliated hairstyle should be preemptively disregarded.
>>77149724Because tendons will receive the same amount of force as the muscle compared to much less when lifting normally.This will result in high amounts of injuries.
>>77149724Why build muscle when you can just injure yourself?
>>77150561retardisometrics are the recommended method for rehab following tendon injuries
>>77149724Technically this can work but I don't feel like writing allat shit out in my phone
>>77151333>you can get muscle by failing to lift weightswoah
>>77151368Yes it's called shocking your muscles
>>77149724Yeah, i guess you can bruteforce shit until it works. Same as putting a monster energy can in your ass. Go for it, OP
>>77151319These are not isometrics you stupid fucking bitch.
>>77151416>weight doesn't move>not isometrics????
>>77150117Can't I just pause at the top of my reps for like 5-10 seconds?
>>77151372I told my pectoralis major a most scandalous secret, why wont it grow?
>>77151457No, that's a completely different thing.
>>77149724there's a machine that does this exactly
>>77151457>Can't I just pause at the top of my reps for like 5-10 seconds?yesbut it'll be less effective than just doing it for longer oncealso depends on your goals if this is useful thoughassuming it's something that keeps you under tensionthen it'll help with muscle endurance (just like any isometric)but you likely sacrifice some hypertrophy for it and won't be able to do as many reps due to muscle fatigueif your goal is to get big as quick as possible, this is obviously not helping>>77151467>No, that's a completely different thing.why would it be?
>>77151694>why would it be?Because if you're able to repeatedly lift and hold up a weight, it means that it's far beyond your maximum voluntary contraction. If you push against an immovable weight, then that is 100% of your maximum voluntary contraction.
concentrics are good for hypertrophy. 5+ reps seems to be better than less, probably because of motor unit recruitment or something idk it doesn't matter if I can't explain why a 1rm concentric wouldn't be good for hypertrophy it just isn't
