ISOMETRIC PULL UP
The 'Isometric Pull Up' or 'Static Hold Pull Up', is a strength building exercise.
Pull yourself up keeping your chin over the bar, chest high and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
Hold this position for as long as possible.
If you don't do isometric training give this one a go!
Save this exercise until the end of your back workout.
Do one set until complete failure (trying to beat your time each week) or aim for 3 sets aiming for the same amount of time.
How long can you hold it before your body starts to shake?
If you can get to 45 seconds that is very good.
If you can't reach 45 seconds yet don't worry, start lower and each week try to increase by 5 seconds.
In my video I got to 1 minute and 3 seconds and I currently weigh 106kg.
