SELF DEFENSE ISOMETRIC EXERCISES

When it comes to your self defense workouts you want to build your muscles into strong workable muscles that have endurance to perform the task. By having big swollen muscles your muscles are only good for show not for function, dont confuse size for strength for its not the case. So how do you go about making your muscles stronger and functional for the combat world? By performing isometric exercises. These exercises are done on a 5 count or more, here is an example go into a regular push-up postion, bring your down on a 5 count and up on a 5 count and repeat. By performing the exercise at a slower rate you force to muscle to work harder and longer, which is what you will need to do in a self defense situation. Any exercise can be performed this way even when using free weights or machine weights. When you find that the exercises are getting easier just increase the time of the count to 6, 7, 8 etc. Remember size doesn't equal strength.
