  I've now seen LOADS of videos telling me the same thing. What I need is videos SHOWING exact isometrics for specific tendons. No more "why", just show me WHAT

  These videos with Keith have been some of the most informative I've ever seen.

  BAAR is incredible. Wish I had found out about his research years and years ago.

  Some great information here, thanks 👏<br><br>The older I get the more you I&apos;ve realised how key it is to maintain healthy joints and tendons. A change that I made recently that has helped me is to replace the final set of my weight training exercises with a longer isometric (30 to 45 seconds).<br><br>For example instead of doing something like:<br>Set 1 - 10 reps x 100kg<br>Set 2 - &nbsp;9 reps x 100kg<br>Set 3 - &nbsp;8 reps x 100kg<br><br>I&apos;ll do <br>Set 1 - 10 reps x 100kg <br>Set 2 - &nbsp;9 reps x 100kg <br>Set 3 - &nbsp;30 second Isometric (maybe yielding isometric at 100kg or using something like a rack or yoga strap to do an overcoming isometric)

  That last point about the mice was amazing. Of course! A lifestyle of repeat mixed use and unpredictability will cause better adaptations than forced grind. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=847ug35JMEs&amp;t=3204">53:24</a>

  The questions and logic path being explored around the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=847ug35JMEs&amp;t=2880">48:00</a> mark is something that I again, highly recommend, diving into what the Functional Range Systems and Absolute Sport Science guys have constructed and tested for almost a decade at this point related to a tissue specific approach for each joint, a programming set of heuristics to adapt to any need of any level of athlete, and something that doesn’t really require complex or complicated equipment or measurement capabilities. &nbsp;I appreciate the depth and transparency here.

  I’ve trained clients over the last 4 years using primarily overcoming isometrics. I have clients do a short treadmill walk in the middle of an isometric workout to decompress, similar to Nsima using rope flow and legs swings.
