396lbs Isometric Deadlift @ 160lbs

This was a quick video I filmed with some friends demonstrating the amazing strength you can achieve through isometrics.

In this video I'm dong an isometric dead lift in strong range of 396lbs. No wraps or hooks were used. Not bad for a guy who doesn't lift weights

Not true.

I squat 3 times a week, never to failure and very low volume, I maybe check 2-3 times a year where my max is at by going for 1 rep max (almost to failure). But I never go to failure on a regular base, far from it. It wouldn't be healtthy either to go to failure 3 times a week on the squat.

You are prolly asking why I squat so much, well I train for strength mostly, but I dont mind when my legs grow like crazy and boy did they. My legs are huge and I never go to failure.

hypertrophy can be achieved through isometrics but as always volume/muscle failure is necessary.

This Man dose have a great web-site on isometric training,I been doing this form of excercises for 18 years.without doing weights.the technigue I use would be static force against unmoveble object,useing every once of My strenght,counting to 8 secounds.essentically the isometric rack is surly the best strength builder around.

For proper max contraction training, a person is NOT supposed to lift anything ! a spotter must help place the weight into the lifters body while they are in a maximally contracted phase of the lifting movement...

the weight is supposed to be sustained for 1-6 seconds igniting as many muscle fibers as possible based on finding the perfect load... to increase strength... and size, loads must be logged and increased with every session...

[lawrencemilazzo]

proper sessions are to last less than 20 minutes, have incredible intensity, and must be performed with PERFECT FORM. Additionally due to the intensity of this regime, one must lift INFREQUENTLY (i.e. once a week)

I never really done any isometric training, ive just always been naturally strong, don't suppose any of u know what sort of bodyweights an average person can lift?

[Hillbillyarious]

I did my first isometric deadlift on a force platform like 2 weeks ago and hit 3.8 bodyweights (and weigh 81kg/178.6 lbs/794Newtons) which converts to 3036newtons (after taking away 794 newtons bodyweight) on the platform. This equates to 309.6kg or 682.6lbs.

All my mates that had a go only managed to get up around 2.5 bodyweights similar to what this guy in the video is meant to be doing.

@jayjaygeebee

It is meant to improve strength, which in turn could aid in more gains during a hypertrophy phase. But isometric movements aren't meant for increasing muscle size

[nismoz31turbo]

he is just showing us how strong he got with isometric training. The point he is making, is he is not a weight lifter, but he can lift 396 pounds up even though his body weight is 160.

[cougarmike123]

NO... your supposed to hold the weight in the position that your muscles are fully contracted. he's not actually lifting the weight off of the ground like a normal dead lift. just lifting it off the bar and into his max muscle contraction and holding it
