Static holds
Henry Rollins
It took me years to fully appreciate the value of the lessons I have learned from the Iron... I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.

I got help from them in two areas, one I was having problems at about 2/3 of the way from locking out my dead lifts years ago so I set up a rack where I could just hold the bar in that position for about 5 or maybe ten seconds
It also helped when I had a weak right wrist to get the tendon strength up.HuH?

Bicep curls usually one all sets but mainly the last or first ill hold the db/bb at the 90degree position for as long as i can and then easily lower it. Helped me alot in str as well as some mass.

I do planks and other holds for abs. I find that it makes me feel very stable when I'm doing other exercises. Also, it works transverse adominis (the deep muscle that goes crosswise under the abs and obliques) This helps keep your waist small.

Planks -
Lift your body of the ground on your elbows and toes. Contract your abdominals and relax your shoulders. Remember to breath. Relax your neck.
Movement: No movement, just hold that plank position ... keep holding you can work your way up to 1min holds.

I use them for bench pressing (mostly incline). When I get done with a set, sometimes I will just hold for as long as I can at the top of the movement before I put the weigh back on the rack. I found that it gets you a better pump at the time as well as close the gap in the middle over a course of time. -Jay

the other bit of form with planks is to keep your body in an absolutely straight line from feet to neck. Don't let your hips rise or the pressure gets placed more in the hip flexors than the abs.

I do SLDL's without straps, and once i got above 100kg for 8 reps my grip strength quickly became a problem. I started doing BB static holds after i finished my SLDL's. My grip doesn't limit me anymore and my forearms have put on some noticeable size to boot.

Yeah, I love them. Not only works your grip, but it strengthens your whole body once you start to get to the heavy weights.

In this case,you do statics at the top of the movement? i.e you stand upright with the bar touching your quads?Originally Posted by superfunkMy goal when I come in everyday is to make sure if somebody beats me,it is not because they outwork me. ~Layne Norton.
