this will just lead to injury and not progressive increments in the long run
i wont name names, but ive been around one of the strongest powerlifters in aus for a while, my techniques are passed down from him but bb focused. him and another dude who is an actual male model.
Can you achieve isometric contraction in the compound movements? Squats, Deadlifts, Bench.. Never thought about that to be honest.
And what is the order here for the best form of increasing strength of muscle. In my mind it goes something like this: Isometric Contraction > Eccentric Phase > Concentric Phase.
I haven't heard of that before, but I like it. Thanks.That reminds me of a Bruce Lee quote "I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."
An isometric contraction could possibly be the best form of increasing the strength of a muscle, but maybe not the safest, it's interesting to note that we do a set of repetitions to get to that isometric hold.
isometric hold usually around the "sticking point" (where the force of gravity is at its highest).
My muscles are at their strongest when they're not moving. In other words, muscle force is at its highest when velocity is at zero.
Perhaps you're thinking of power. The graph below shows the relationship between the velocity (speed) of movement and the amount of force generated.Considering that force is mass * acceleration that's not really true

Yes because you are now introducing momentum into the equation! If I drop a 150kg deadlift onto the floor, there is helluva force pounding the absorption mats but it sure as heck doesn't mean I am strong or forceful lol..Nope it's definitely force

My belief has always been that a muscle at full contraction is at its strongest fadi, to me there is a huge difference between mechanical work and muscular work, muscles produce force, nothing more and nothing less.
I think you guys are discussing different valid points. Fadi is saying that a muscle has the most potential for strength when in a resting state. You're saying that a muscle is using maximum strength when full contracted. One point is potential strength and the other is actual.

speed + power = force if im not mistaken.
The exact opposite is the truth. I think I've posted enough to prove my point, so I'll stop here.If you're looking at generating the most force then the weight needs to be ACCELERATING
speed + power = force if im not mistaken.
just like the 125lb bruce lee, was very tiny, but very fast, so it made up a huge power deficit by being stupidly fast
edit: small muscles like bi and tri back to back i was using just 5 second rests. just BOOM! just smash it! stop this chit chat and back slapping in the gym, DO IT!
