    Did my ILIT: Impromptu Loadless Isometric Training for both before and after my workout

    Which are;

    1. LOWER LEG ISOTENSION Tense the calves and lower legs hard. (It can be tough to get the knack of this, at first; lifting the heels half an inch off the ground will help.) 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    2. THIGH ISOTENSION While standing upright, tense the quadriceps and hamstrings hard. The legs can be either locked, or bent. (You can even perform this seated.) 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    3. GLUTEAL ISOTENSION After the thigh tension, tense and squeeze the gluteal muscles together as hard as possible, without moving the hips or thighs. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    4. STOMACH ISOTENSION Smoothly exhale; once the air has left your lungs and the stomach is drawn in, then tense the abdominals hard. There is no need to bend forward. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    5. LATERAL TORSO ISOTENSION Pull the shoulders down in their sockets and tense the lats (under the armpits) hard. You do not need to spread your shoulders out for this drill. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    6. PEC ISOTENSION Pull the shoulders forward in their sockets and tense and squeeze the chest muscles hard. (You don’t need to move your arms much.) 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    7. ARM ISOTENSION Holding the arms slightly bent or straight, tense the biceps and triceps hard. You also have the option of making a fist, and tensing your grip. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    Then the main

    5 DRILLS (A)

    1. SR pull (high) 6 sets of 6 secs

    Hold your hands in a “monkey grip” above your head. Brace yourself. Once you are set, pull the hands apart with maximum force for 6-8 seconds. Breathe naturally throughout the exercise.
    Muscles trained: Lats, triceps, grip

    2. Door horizontal press 6 sets of 6 secs

    Stand sideways in a sturdy doorway and lean forward, with your glutes supported by the inner frame. Place one palm on the opposite inner frame, at about chest height. Brace the body. Once you are set, press hard forwards for 6-8 seconds. Breathe naturally throughout the exercise.
    Muscles trained: Chest, shoulders, triceps, abdominals

    3. SR pull (middle) 6 sets of 6 secs

    Hold your hands in a “monkey grip” in front of you. Brace yourself. Once you are set, pull the hands apart with maximum force for 6-8 seconds. Breathe naturally throughout the exercise.
    Muscles trained: Upper back, triceps, grip

    4. Door top press 6 sets of 6 secs

    Stand in a sturdy doorway, and place the palms on the upper frame. If you cannot reach the upper frame, stand on a box or stool, or on the toes. Brace the body. Once you are set, press hard upwards for 6-8 seconds. Breathe naturally throughout the exercise. This exercise can also be performed unilaterally.
    Muscles trained: Shoulders, triceps

    5. Wall squat 4 sets of 30 secs
    Sit down with your back against a sturdy wall. Ideally, bend the knees to a 90-degree angle, and hold the position, with your arms away from the legs.
    Muscles trained: Quads, glutes, hamstrings

    Didn't do my Kettlbell swings because I got lazy and distracted with my phone where I didn't have enough time. I don't know why I keep getting distracted and not do my exercises first thing when I wake up.

    Muscles trained: Chest, biceps

    2. Door horizontal row 5 sets of 6 secs

    Did my ILIT: Impromptu Loadless Isometric Training 3 times, 1 before my workout then after it & after my Kettlbell swing.

    Which are;

    4. STOMACH ISOTENSION Smoothly exhale; once the air has left your lungs and the stomach is drawn in, then tense the abdominals hard. There is no need to bend forward. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    7. ARM ISOTENSION Holding the arms slightly bent or straight, tense the biceps and triceps hard. You also have the option of making a fist, and tensing your grip. 1 set of 1-2 seconds

    First day icing the Iso-Trainer:
    https://www.worldfit.com/product-page/iso-trainer


    Doing this routine as my start of using the isometrics exercises with the Iso-Trainer, though switching the Austing Squat with the Zercher Squat;


    Deadlift Bottom Position;
    Strength: 3 set of 3 secs
    Strength/Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 6 secs
    Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 21 secs

    Zercher Squat Bottom Position:
    Strength: 3 set of 3 secs
    Strength/Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 6 secs
    Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 21 secs

    Shoulder/Over Head Press Bottom Position:
    Strength: 3 set of 3 secs
    Strength/Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 6 secs
    Hypertrophy: 3 sets of 21 secs

    Then done 10 minutes of Kettlbell swings with a 20 kg weight up to 180 reps.

    Going to see how this goes for me. Feel like I need to work on my Deadlift and Squat positioning because I haven't done them in a while, but I'm sure I'll get better at it.
