Resistance training using timed static contractions

Resistance training using timed static contractions

I was introduced to timed static contractions sometime in 2023 (thanks Drew Baye). I have since become a bit of a fanatic to say the least.

There are a variety of ways to implement this training protocol. This should be enough to get you started.

If you want to train hard, at home, or on the road, in an effective, efficient way, and reduce the risk of injury, keep reading.
