All isometrics are statics but not all statics are isometrics. A true isometric is pushing, pulling, or lifting an immovable object. You are holdinbg a dumbell of a specifc weight and holding it for as long as possible. This is an excellent static exercise but it is not isometric.

@TheCausticGnostic Well that is just what Ive heard it called.Hpefully people get he idea with the word "hold" in the title...lol

People need to look for the definition of isometric before commenting. Statics are iso's nuiff said, you're creating a fulcrum and lever at the same time (push/pull) as long as there is a opposing force that is being resisted, its an Iso. Holding the dumbbell creates an iso on the joints of the arm, as long as you keep them locked in place, its a fucking iso.

If you held your forearm parallel to the ground this would be impressive. You're being assisted by your elbow being forward/up and forearm not parallel.

@powabuilda yeah it's def between those things unless I hurt it somewhere else unknowingly...doubtful but ya never know and yeah I thinking I did it with the dropsets of biceps and triceps, plus my wrists were always hyper extending with bench, I got gloves for benching to keep them at a better more healthy angle because my wrists are just so weak it's pretty pathetic to be honest, but I'll try to loosen up my form on things and give it a try, if not off to the doctors I go

@musicaws2 Well, Im not so sure that it as much your body not linking you working out as you may be training the same areas to frequently. Also, just my two cents, sometimes trying to make your form overly strict can actuall put more stress on certain areas making injury a higher chance. I have even found that to be true in some cases myself. Yet by maybe a bit looser form at times you spread te weight throught the body somewht rather then isolating it on one spot un naturally.

[musicaws2]

@powabuilda Yeah I'm gonna def start icing and taking ibuprofen more regularly. I'm even considering seeing a doc cause I don't wanna lay off and go back and have this again, if I can just lay off and it be once and done I'd rather that, but who knows I don't think my body likes the idea of me working out, always have some kind of ache or pain and I know my form is correct...I may just be over doing it cause I do def go hard at the gym with my friends

[powabuilda]

@musicaws2 Ya no problem.And Im sorry to hear that man. I would it may be from over use. Id suggest icing it and ibprofen to get down the inflamation. Also maybe some biofreeze gel or someting if you have it. You may also want t consider switching your routine to more like something I described and see if it makes a different..

[musicaws2]

@powabuilda oh alright man thanks, I'm experiencing wrist pains and I'm not sure if it's cause I'm over doing it (probably) or I just injured my self, I'm workin on toning it down now because I'm actually thinking I may have tendonitis or something...idk for sure though just some things hurt my wrist a lot.

@musicaws2 I usually do about 3-4 excrsises and about 3-4 sets each. Usually only1-2 of those ets each excersise to failure or near it. train slightly les volume an morehavy weight lower rep since I train for powerlifting more then bodybuilding. But it ca vary dependin on your goals. If you really push yourself heavy and hard enough once indirectly and once directly should be plently especiallynaturally. And yes LAT pulls work biceps as well as rows. I was manly just using them as an example.
