During my years of practicing traditional weight training at the gym I slowly got reoccurring injuries in my knee, shoulder, and tendons which affected my daily life and ability to work out in the gym. I tried changing up my workout routines from heavier to lighter weights, amount of repetitions and type of exercises but my injuries still persisted.
In the end, I recalled hearing about isometric workouts on a podcast from a 66-year-old traveling fitness coach who lived his entire life on the road from his one small backpack. His only form of resistance training was utilizing isometric exercises, and all the props he used was a rope. He explained that the older he got the harder it was to avoid joint and tendon injuries when working out using traditional dynamic exercises but contrary to that isometrics was perfect in strengthening the joints and tendons and he could work out anywhere since he did not need a gym or heavy weights to do his isometric routine.
This made me dive deep into all about isometric contraction training. I quickly found out that there is no good information out there summarizing what does and does not work when it comes to isometrics. So the last four years I have been on a mission to find out myself what works and what the long term effects of isometric training are. I was not sure to start with if it works at all but now it has successfully been part of my daily workout routine for several years. It also enhances my other daily practices consisting of yoga and meditation. Now I preach the benefits of isometric contraction training at every chance I get.
