Try static training alongside full range of motion work. For example do your squats like normal. Then load up a rediculous weight on the bar you know you couldnt squat even if ur life depended on it...then just unrack it and stand there for as long as you can with it on your back. This can be applied to exercises like the leg press, bench press etc.

yer so do 1 set of say 5 reps. but full range of movement. (normal benching)

Then stick on quite abit more than your one rep max and unrack the weight. Simply hold it for as long as you comfortable. Be careful though, when using alot of weight you shouldnt go crazy and wait till you drop the weight on yourself.

I'm in no way advocating nor do I have any experience with SCT, but I just recalled watching that video and going WTF.

Look around for Pete Sisco and John Little, they're the developers of SCT.

I also recall some posts here that were fiery, to say the least, regarding SCT.

do you mean in general or doing static training?

I would only do static training with the major exercises like the bench press and squat. Not all exercises

Isometrics, or static exercise is very common in martial arts. Literally every stream has it's own name and slight variation but the grand scheme is the same. In Beishaolin Kung Fu I would hold Horse Stance (essentially a squat, with legs bent at a 90) for as long as I could hold - this was intense!

My current set of isometrics is:
Plank Bridge - 5 sets x 35 seconds
Side Plank Bridge - 4 sets x 35 seconds
Push Ups - 3 sets of 35 seconds (Hold yourself one inch above the floor FLAT! Move up and down slowly and at the top position stay in push-up form)
Leg Extensions - 4 sets x 35 seconds
Leg Abductions - 4 sets x 35 seconds
Calf Raises - 4 sets x 30 seconds

I do these exercises every day and only allow fifteen seconds of rest in between a set and exercise. You won't notice any real gains in a week because it takes time to see the benefits. Two months in and I can flow and move like nobody's business.

Personally, I find myself able to throw a punch and kick with good form and speed from just about any position. The implications in martial arts is that I am not telegraphing my moves. For bodybuilding, more specifically, in getting bigger muscles I don't think isometrics should be high priority.

Good luck and post results!
