Jump Attack training programme - Upper body isometric holds This part of the training is focused on maintaining strength in your muscle contraction over a period of time Holds include: Push up Pull up (the one I least enjoy) Shoulder press (not shown) Bicep curls (not fun) Tricep push-up (1 second feels like 10 seconds) Frog plank Side plank Importantly this programme schedules in rest, which, if you're giving your all with every exercise, is seriously needed to recover Week 1 each hold was for 30 seconds Week 2 (which I'm on now) each hold lasts 60 seconds... If you cannot complete the 60 in one go, stop, and start where you left off (had to with the pull ups, tricep push ups) Make sure you take the full 2 min rest between sets to allow the muscles to recover www.tgrantwellbeing.com www.greentreeosteopathy.com . . . . . #jumpattack #upperbodyworkout #isometric #hold #pullup #pushup #plank #bicepcurls #triceps #core #athletic #training #workout #challengeyourself #endurance #strength #mentalstrength #personaltraining #personaltrainer #osteopath #osteopathy (at T.

"Tendon Strength: The Unsung Hero of Fitness"

Much emphasis is placed on building muscle strength and endurance, but often overlooked is the unsung hero—tendon strength. Tendons, the tough, fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones, play a crucial role in every movement we make. Understanding the significance of tendon strength and learning how to enhance it can be a game-changer in your fitness journey. In this blog post, we will shine…

Isometric Exercises: Definition and Benefits

Isometric exercises don’t involve any movement but simply work a muscle or muscle group by holding a challenging position while your muscles are engaged.This form of exercise involves holding one position for what can seem like forever, such as planks.

The Benefits of Isometric Exercises

Isometric exercises lead to significant benefits for muscular endurance, functional fitness, and strength. The benefits include: Building muscular endurance. They improve your muscles ability to work for an extended period of time, improving muscular endurance required to run, lift heavy weights, walk, or even stand for prolonged periods.

Improving everyday life

Practicing isometric exercises can help improve the way you move in your daily life. For example if you struggle to push yourself up off a chair or go up the stairs due to lower-body weakness, performing wall sits, which put your body in the same posture as it’s in while climbing stairs or sitting and thus target similar muscles, can help you build strength in that position, improving your ability to carry out these basic tasks.

Boosting strength and reducing pain

Isometric exercises are often used in rehabilitation programs after injury or after surgery. Since the muscles aren’t repeatedly being lengthened and shortened during isometric exercises, these moves typically don’t cause any pain, and they can have a pain-relieving effect.

Easy on your joints

Due to their static nature, isometric exercises are low-impact, meaning they put little pressure on your joints. Watch out for my next blog which has some suggested isometric exercises for a full-body workout.

They are also useful for fixing muscle imbalances in key problem areas, like the quads, hips, calves and back.

I grew a fondness for iso exercises because they are safe on the joints and can efficiently build strength and endurance without putting too much stress on the body, which is why I usually do them during my recovery days (or weeks). This can both help improve performance and prevent running injury. Iso training will not only make you stronger, but also improve your flexibility as well. Isometric training builds strength by holding intense static positions where no movement is allowed anywhere on the body, helping you increase strength by holding the muscular contraction against the resistance of your own bodyweight.īetter flexibility.

As a certified #jock do you have any home workout tips? I got to get back into a gym but in the meantime I have a barbell and dumbbells at home but no bench or rack, and I don't want to die in an embarrassing self-inflicted accident

I DO!!! Ok, you might know this but reddit is a goldmine for exercise tips; I really recommend the r/bodyweightfitness wiki, and the FAQ over at r/xxfitness (women-centric, nb/trans inclusive) that has an excellent routine rec page for intermediates & beginners.

PERSONALLY. I love love love Caroline Girvan on youtube, my quarantine workout buddy. I think she's since moved to a paid app, but her workout programs are still up. They are actual programs, with a progression scheme etc; she demonstrates exercises and modifications in the videos; and they're pretty tough depending on the amount of weight you use. They helped me not only keep but also grow muscle mass during lockdown, with just an adjustable dumbell set (I swear I'm not being paid to say this) and they're quite fun, with timed reps, supersets, bodyweight exercises etc.

Each program is 10 weeks, 5x weeks (but you can take it at your own pace) and it includes 1 full body workout, 1 cardio / HIIT / circuit training day, and 2x lower body + 1x upper body or viceversa depending on the week. I'm probably making it sound harder than it is, just check out these playlists:

Epic 1 // Epic HEAT // Iron Series <<< these are the ones I've personally done, but there's a LOT more on her channel. I recommend different weights for lower and upper body if you can swing it, and you'd probably want to modify the exercises to incorporate barbell work where you can manage it - like for lunges and rows - maybe bridge chest press from the floor if you feel up for it?

Fun alternative! If you don't want to follow youtube programs is bodyweight-centred programs? Again I rec bodyweightfitness above, they have loads of resources for recommended progressions for stuff like pistol squats or push-up variations etc. Or work on explosiveness doing jumps dumbell cleans, lunges work etc. I feel like you can build a pretty decent upper body progression program even without a bench doing floor presses and maximising what weight you have doing single-arm stuff (like, one dumbell holds stready, the other arm presses) or playing around with isometric exercises and so on.

If you want to unlock next level home workouts you could also get a kettlebell / abs wheel / other deadly instrument. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Back to those weights.

Lower body this morning.

3 sets of 10 reps

Stiff leg deadlift- 30kg

Squat - 30kg

Calf raise - 30kg

Single leg deadlift - 15kg

Static lunge - 15kg

Seated extension - 15kg

The seated extension was a bit of a nightmare to get back out from, lol. So I had a lot of isometric muscular tension added to that workout 😂.

Definitely needed to stretch it all out after that one!

Then the part of the day that i look forward to from the previous evening......Sunrise (if I'm lucky enough), strong coffee and peanuts.

Yes please and thank you!

I git outside pretty early, so there wasn't much to see. Plus it was raining so u came back inside. Didn't fancy wet nuts and rain weakened coffee 😋.

The sun is fully rising now, though. Beautiful.

Biceps workout at home without equipment for beginners

Effective biceps workout for beginners that you can do at home without any equipment:

1. Towel Curls:

Grab a thick towel and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Hold one end of the towel in each hand, with your palms facing up.

Tense your biceps and start pulling the towel apart as hard as you can, creating tension.

While maintaining tension, curl the towel toward your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.

Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly release.

Repeat for 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

2. Water Jug Hammer Curls:

Fill two equally sized water jugs or bottles with water (adjust the weight to your fitness level).

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a jug in each hand with your palms facing your torso (hammer grip).

Keep your upper arms stationary and curl the jugs/bottles toward your shoulders while exhaling.

Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the jugs back down.

Repeat for 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

3. Push-Up to Downward Dog with Wrist Rotation:

Begin in a push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart.

Lower your body towards the floor, then push back up.

After each push-up, shift into a downward dog position.

In the downward dog position, rotate your wrists in circles to stretch and engage your biceps.

Do 3 sets of 10-12 push-ups, and perform the wrist rotation in the downward dog position after each set.

4. Isometric Wall Curl:

Stand facing a wall with your feet about a foot away from it.

Place your hands flat against the wall at shoulder height, with your fingers pointing upward.

Push against the wall as hard as you can for 20-30 seconds, engaging your biceps.

Rest for 10 seconds, then repeat for 3 sets.

5. Shadow Boxing with Intense Focus on Bicep Contraction:

Stand in a relaxed stance and throw punches in the air, focusing on the contraction of your biceps with each punch.

Make sure to squeeze your biceps as you extend your arm, and then relax as you retract it.

Continue shadow boxing for 3 rounds of 2-3 minutes each, with 30 seconds of rest between rounds.

Remember to maintain proper form throughout these exercises and progressively increase the intensity as you get stronger. Consistency is key to seeing results, so aim to do this workout 2-3 times per week.

AI Telephone: Once More With Chaos!

How do you get from a space bug to an ice-cream goo-tree?

After my last AI telephone experiment, I decided to give the concept a bit more of a workout. So to start, I brought in a little bug critter I made with Sculptris, in keeping with starting with non-AI. I'm going to do the Midjourney Gens at --chaos 25, and I'm letting a friend pick the coolest result to choose to move to the next stage.

CLIP Interrogator finds the prompt: a close up of a toy on a black surface, inspired by Pinchus Kremegne, polycount, blue and pink colour splash, mobile game asset, headcrab, blob, character is covered in liquid, raytraced, isometric 3d fantasy turtle, flesh blob, blue and pink color scheme, crab monster, fbx, soft image shading, blob anime

I have to change "flesh" to "living" due to MJ filtering. The bottom right is chosen as strongest.

CI2 Prompt: a black and pink crab sitting on top of a puddle of pink paint, polycount contest winner, colorful ferrofluid armor, cute 3 d render, bubble goth, conceptual mystery pokemon, dripping goo, evil nanobot, made of smooth black goo, stylized pbr, lowres, toxic drips

Bottom right (narrowly) wins again.

Resulting in: a black and pink crab sitting on top of a pink substance, by Jason Chan, digital art, trend on behance 3 d art, dripping goo, evil nanobot, a cute spider, colorful ferrofluid armor, c 4 d ”

Top left is the choice.

Prompt: a black octopus sitting on top of a pink surface, a 3D render, by jeonseok lee, drooling ferrofluid. dslr, beautiful robot character design, closeup cinematic aquatic scene, miniature tachikoma, c 4 d ”, a beautiful artwork illustration, 2d illustration, cell automata

With Bottom right coming out on top.

Resulting in Promt: a close up of a metal object on a pink surface, a 3D render, inspired by Petros Afshar, cthulu, art toys on a pedestal, covered with ferrofluid. dslr, best of behance, underwater ink env, 3d-render, with a tentacle - shaped tongue, c 4 d ”

Normally we'd stop with the top right, but at the urging of my coolest-gen-chooser, we're going one more step:

Prompt: a pink and black object on a pink surface, a 3D render, inspired by Mike Winkelmann, dripping goo, evil nanobot, an alien mushroom with tentacles, drips, surreal sci fi architecture, dripping black paint, 3d-render, art toys on a pedestal, futuristic shapes, stylised

Wild.

Everything but the initial, non-AI bug that started it all, is public domain, as the robots were almost entirely behind the results, one choice per two steps notwithstanding.
