Hey Al, your thoughts on muscle gain with pure isometrics?
Anthony Romayo
@Mjolbaggar I do both overcoming and yielding isometrics. That includes the Bull worker. What I do is use the World Fit ISO trainer. Although I do different angles of different exercises my main upper body exercises are, chest press, military press, something I call cross back presses (in which I have the strap behind my back across my shoulders like you would put a bar for squatting and then grab each handle and press out), I also do different kind of pulls generally speaking it's the strap in front of me with my hands spread at different angles and try to actually pull the strap apart. I learned a lot from Steve Justa's two books. His take on isometrics was phenomenal. I can go on all day if you like but they are the main Crux of all of my exercises. For my yielding Isometrics I do Hindu squats, bottom position push up holds, and a chair hold in which I grab my dinette chair and hold it in front of me with my arms almost all the way straightened out completely for time. Everything else I do is calisthenics push-ups body weight squats squat thrusts. I ruck , and do loaded of carries with a big rock that I have. But like I said before mainly everything is isometrics.

@Anthony Romayo What isometric exercises are you doing?
Anthony Romayo
Me also, since Isometrics are 80% of my training

I‘d like to know that, too!

I'd say loaded carries, overhead press and endurance walking are my top 3.
Pull-ups are great but we don't need to pull ourselves up regularly. We all carry things, just try to go a day without picking up a single object! We also take/put things on shelves or in the attic so the overhead press is used pretty much daily. We're also built to walk long, long distances so walking a lot should be a part of anyone's training. Just my opinion and I love seeing other's views on fitness <3
Anthony Romayo
Totally agree with this. I suck at pull-ups. Although they are a great exercise, they are not needed for functional strength. I do loaded carries. I also walk a lot I think it's what keeps me alive at 61. Rucking is also an awesome exercise.

Yeah loaded carries are probably the most functional exercise tbh

Hey Al! Thank you for the video. I had to go do some handstand pushups and pull ups after seeing this. Would love for you to go deeper into running/cardio. I used to play basketball, but my body gets a little too beat up from it and it's gotten harder to find people my age to play with. Seems like I could do running, but last time I tried, my knees and ankles would ache constantly and I just felt tired in the evening, like I just wanted to sit down all the time. How much should someone run? How often, how far and how fast?

I was a late bloomer, but when I got into early adulthood I started doing all the athletic activities I never did as a child. Well, this involved lots of running of course. Full speed, all out, running as fast as you can. My legs exploded with new muscular growth! It was shocking how much muscle I gained and how much bigger my legs got in a very short amount of time! I’m 53 now and haven’t ran since I was 38 and tore the acl and meniscus in my left knee and then started experiencing terrible pain in the right knee knee as well. Sucks! If I was pain free, I’d start running immediately because I know firsthand how effective it is!
