Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I ought to clarify the chest compression iso-motion exercise I mentioned in my previous post. I first move the SB straight up and straight down in front of me for ten reps, from my waist to overhead, and then, holding the SB up to my chest, I move it straight out from side to side, extending my arms out to the sides. I might also add the slider is very handy to have on the SB when doing iso-motion, as you can't really see the scale when moving the SB around, but you can see the slider, and I use that to maintain the tension on the SB. > > I've done a lot of experimenting with my bullies and I came up with one particular exercise that really targets the triceps and can pump them just as much as a weight lifting exercise. While standing, place the Bullworker on one end in front of you and cup both hands around the up-ended handle. Bend at the waist until your chest is directly over your hands. Push straight down as though performing a diamond pushup. I do the ten and one for this. It is exercises like this that make me glad I have the Classic with its heavy resistance. > > Iso-motion is something I had never really gotten into, but with all this recent talk about it I decided to give it a shot. It really does put a hurtin' on your muscles! There are two exercises using the Steel Bow that I've made a regular part of my routine. One is the shoulder pull where you hold the SB straight out in front of you, pull the cables apart, and then move your arms all the way from left to right and then from right to left. I have found this to be every bit as effective as a chest pull with cables. The other is the chest compression. Holding the iso, I move my arms from the lowest position to overhead, and then from side to side. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 ........... Yes, you compress the SB for the chest exercise and you pull the SB apart for the shoulder exercise. Anarug.......... Physiologically, I don't know exctly what iso-motion accomplishes, all I know is that it really wears your muscles out, contributing to their size and strength. For me, that's the bottom line. You could do iso-motion with no equipment. For example, you could simply clasp your hands together with your arms outstretched in front of you and then swing your arms from side to side while attempting to pull your hands apart. But what makes using the SB so effective is that you have a couple of other elements thrown into the mix. One, you've got a " live " iso going, so you're actually pulling the SB apart while performing the iso-motion, and two, you have an actual physical indicator, the ring, to let you know if you are maintaining maximum tension throughout the exercise. > > > > > > > > I've done a lot of experimenting with my bullies and I came up with one particular exercise that really targets the triceps and can pump them just as much as a weight lifting exercise.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 does isomotion work the same way as isometric?i'm also doing a athletic workout program which demands great arm,chest and leg strength...will isomotion help to gain strength faster than isometrics?To: bullworkerclub Sent: Monday, 7 November 2011 1:01 AMSubject: Re: The Bullworker as a Triceps Blaster ...........

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 IsoMotion Iso-Motion is a self-resistance exercise method which pits muscle against muscle in a full range of joint rotation. The practitioner tenses the muscles of given body part and then moves the body part against the tension. Iso-Motion exercises call for movement. The method comprises a combination of exercises in three disciplines: isotonic, isokinetic, and some exercises in the isometric discipline. Iso-Motion exercises increase strength throughout the full range of motion Iso-Motion is nearly impossible to be injured during exercise because one's own muscles provide the force and, as they tire or extend, the resistance used also decreases. Iso-Motion is used within martial arts. The " dynamics of muscle tension " is applied using a person's movements. The tightening of core muscles with movement allows the individual to change the pace of their motion. The results of such movements increase a person's power and speed. Iso-Motion is a technique that is natural, everyday movement complimented and accentuated with varying resistance.
