#isometrichold

There are three different speeds you can use when performing #bandedpullaparts and they all have different benefits, as you'd expect. There's the #isometrichold , which I addressed a few days ago, there's a moderate speed, in which you can perform multie reps for scapular and delt #strength and #stability, and there's this slower speed seen here. This slower tempo will help build up the #muscles in the #upperback, much like performing most #dumbbell or #barbell moves with a slower tempo, only this also provided more #tension. Don't worry about banging out rep after rep when using this tempo, just make sure you FEEL your #scapula retracting. Also, try mixing the variations in speed on this depending on how heavy or light of a weight you're lifting. Ore on this to come! 💪💪💪 #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fit #fitness #miniresistancebands #strong #strongandshapelygym #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #reardelts #scapularetraction #posteriorchain #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #lankylifters #talllifters (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YFR2fDPwu/?igshid=18ox5lkwy8jno

I've spoken quite a bit about supersetting when it comes to training the #upperbody, so here's an example of that. As of this week, aside from my already supersetting nearly everything I do with #bandedpullaparts, I now vary the speeds in which I perform them for different results. I'll perform multiple reps to warm up and strengthen my #tendons and #reardelts. Here, however, you'll see that I'm performing just a single rep, using an #isometrichold, also known as a #statichold. This reinforces #scapularetraction while performing #squats and especially with the #benchpress. And it sure helped here, as I performed ten sets altogether. So tonight, aside from the pull aparts, I performed 135x5x3, followed by 140x2x1. Here's that last #superset now! #unitedinstrength #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #strength #strong #strongandshapelygym #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnerstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthtraining #lankylifters #hardgainers (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MoqWfDAyo/?igshid=19bh2dmr121yg
