Isometrics are of two types : yielding isometrics and overcoming isometrics. Yielding isometrics means just holding a given resistance at a given point of time. Overcoming isometrics means pushing or pulling against an immovable resistance.Yielding isometrics are the type of isometrics you mentioned here. But, overcoming isometrics are the best type of isometrics to build muscle and strength. Yielding isometrics provide decent amount of hypertrophy but overcoming isometrics provide more hypertrophy than yielding isometrics. Overcoming isometrics build muscle at least as same as dynamic exercises. Overcoming isometrics is the best way to build muscle upto your genetic limit without going to gym. Calisthenics + overcoming isometrics = Unlimited Gains without any gym memberships 💪💪💪🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🔥🔥🔥

Alex's movements and structures are so perfect, that I suspect he is a cyborg

[boleperishon]

I just started doing both, one day full body dynamic, other static with some cardio. I feel amazing. Static gives me a combination of work and rest.

[Orestas.Kaukutas]

Great video. Didn't know about static exercises as recovery versions. Cheers!

This is very very useful and a material of true clear learning and this video is really informative.👌 Thank you, guys! Greetings from Egypt!👊🔥🇪🇬🇪🇬 Lucky to be with your channel! I appreciate it!🙂👌

True about calisthenics, but there is more... You say "static" without mentioning the word "Isometric"
Those 2 are not exactly the same, but to a large extent similar.
And when it comes to isometric, it's probably the best-kept secret in the fitness world:
1. You can do them anywhere, anytime, just like (almost) calisthenics
2 If you are injured/tired/unwell, you can isolate just the muscles you want to train without hurting the ones you don't.
3. They build strength almost as well as the dynamic exercises, with +- 20 degrees of the isometrically held position.
4. Last but not least: if you are concerned with your overall health: there has been a major recent study in the British Journal of Sport Medicine that showed that Isometric exercises are THE BEST at lowering blood pressure: ahead of cardio, dynamic forms of strength training OR a mix of cardio +dynamic strength training.
If you are 20 years old now and in perfect health ... just wait a bit and all of those above advantages of isometric training will become more and more appealing to you...

Amazing Content From CalisthenicsMovement ❤🎉

[andershamm]

Great video like always! I'd love to see a video on periodization for calisthenics from you as that's something I'm still not quite sure how to do right and I don't find a lot to that subject

[AnHuỳnh-rw]

Omg. Thank u so much. I've been looking for this information for a long time❤

[akatsukiwolf]

Thanks for the advise. My muscles are weak. I need training like in the video.

5:51 static holds a.k.a isometrics also make you stronger and give more explosive strength.

[shantanusapru]

Well, it depends.
In short, isometrics are not a great way to build muscle (i.e. induce muscular hypertrophy). Sure, they can be used by rank beginners, and are useful for detrained individuals (recovering from injury etc), but, for the vast majority of the population interested in muscular hypertrophy as a goal, they are not useful beyond the absolute beginner stage.
However, that being said, isometrics are not bad at all for strength development -- esp. end-range or mid-range strength.
Strength is specific to many factors -- position (positional strength), range, type of movement pattern/exercise, mobility, etc...
And, isometrics can help with strength development in all these...
Of the two major types of isometrics -- yielding isometrics & overcoming isometrics -- the latter are better (than the former) for both strength & muscular development. But, either is far inferior to dynamic contractions (eccentric having been recently found to be superior to concentric) as far as muscular hypertrophy is concerned...
But, both forms of static isometric contractions are good for developing mobility.

how can i fix my uneven chest
you're the best

[John_Doe_Jr.]

Thank you so much, it's very helpful.
I have an injury, and I need to work out.

[lewismitch]

What about planking? I love doing plank but my main exercise for abdominals is using the ab roller whilst on your knees to then lower extend out with your arms therefore contracting the abs on the return upward position.

Hey, do you have some tips for someone that did 500+ push ups a day, but got injured on his shoulder and wants to start again?
I love your vids so so much
