Yes, another boring Weighted Isometric Pushup for time.
I love these isometric holds because they are toughness builders.
The longer your muscles are under tension, the stronger you get.
What I do hate is men who do forearm planks, that is such a bitch exercise focusing entirely on abs, a women’s exercise!
The forearm plank is ONLY acceptable if you are using a good amount of weight on your back. If this offends you, you know this is an exercise for women and weak men, who think they will get a six pack!
The weighted isometric pushup hold IS a total body strength builder, as simple as it looks, the benefits are huge.
I guarantee when you are capable of doing a five minute weighted isometric pushup you will be as strong fuck!
Especially if it ever comes down to a physical combat like wrestling, your body will be strong from head to toe.
Put on a weighted back pack or weighted vest hold the pushup position for 2 to 3 minutes, lower to mid pushup position(arms parallel) hold 30 to 45 seconds, push back to the top and finish the remaining time, or as long as you can.
I doubt very few world class athletes could easily handle or even complete this simple little toughness and strength builder!

Hah! I might try that Johnny G!!
KEEP KICKING ASS MAN!!!
This shit is no joke ! I tried this yesterday without any added weight and dam this kicked the shit out of any pushup workout I ever did in my life ! I can’t wait to try this with weight . This is a serious strength and conditioning tool . Johnny Grube knows his shit !
@Chuck
Working hard man, keep up the hardwork man!!
Johnny is the man.Best way of training that really works.Screw the masses and there gymnast B.S. training.
Yeah this must be a difficult exercise to do especially with added weight on your back.I can only hold the pushup position only for 7 minutes total. I will improve it to at least 15 minutes and then ill add a weighted backpack after.
