I read about a new work out in which you stop at the top of every rep and "flex" for five seconds. Has anyone ever done this? Is it any good?

i heard about this before but never actually tired it the guy said it hurt alot when he did it so i was guessing lower the weight you press when tryin it out for the first time.

i've tried it. i most likely wasn't doing it correctly, but i heard that it was supposed to do some good.

Arnold use to do that. It works great, when your doing your arm curls and at the top of the motion (where your arms aren't under stress), squeeze your muscles for a few seconds (Don't let your muscles relax) then lower it under control. I think it's a form of Isometrics? I use it for almost all exercises, it keeps the muscles from relaxing resulting in a better workout IMO!

im gonna agree with Sean here 100% this technique is awsome for bi's tri's mainly arms and some chest xercizes but if done incorrectly its gonna hurt like hell. :thumbs:
