Introduction to Extreme Isometric Training (Part One)

Introduction to Extreme Isometric Training. This is part one of a presentation on speed development featuring Dan Fichter. Isometric training involves exercises where the muscle length doesn’t change during contraction. In simpler terms, it's about holding a position where the muscle is working, but there’s no movement of the joint or muscle lengthening or shortening. For example, if you push against a wall or hold a plank position, your muscles are engaged and working hard, but they aren’t actually moving the wall or changing their length. This type of training can help improve muscle strength and endurance and is often used for building stability and strength in specific positions. Too many times, in amateur athletics, an athletes career gets cut short based on the fact that they are simply just not fast enough to play “at the next level”. Whether it is a 40 yd dash, 60 yd dash or a big vertical jump, we aim to get you the times and heights you need to turn heads and get noticed. Slowguyspeedschool.com Instagram: Coach Chris Korfist
