I dont know if I’ve written about it before, but I do know I’ve mentioned it in the book on isometrics (at least, I believe I have).

Yes. I think I have, towards the end of those exercises!

And handstands and handstand pushups my friend are an exercise that lend themselves to isometrics in a very superlative manner indeed – and in a manner ANYONE can start doing.

And in a manner most miss the “boat” on.

And a manner that builds the forearms just as much as doing pull-ups all day long will … Not to mention traps and shoulders from “Cain” as I say on the BattleTank Shoulders page. Hehe.

My daughter’s been on modified versions of these routines, and her little shoulders (she refers to them as Baby Battletank Shoulders, hehe) are already starting to burst out of her shirt. Literally!

She’s getting BROADER by the day and STRONGER.

And at the age of 7 at that.

Now, isometrics.

When you’re in the top position of the handstand, by its very nature, to HOLD properly, you have to execute the isometric part of the exercise.

Thats fine, you say. I know that. But what’s new?

Well, it’s this – you EXTEND and LENGTHEN the entire body while doing handstands!

You REALLY push into the ground.

You REALLY tighten the CORE and lower back.

And much like the dead hang with pull-ups can increase your height (indeed, at the age of 37, by no means a spring chicken a few years ago, my wife made the comment about me “looking taller”).

She was right.

I was.

Just imagine if you get your kids on a program like this.

Handstand pushups and pull-ups – I wish I had done ‘em when I was young!

But anyway, never too late my friend. For YOU either!

And back to isometrics … really PUSH into the ground. Really STRAIGHTEN those arms – and hold for time.

You’ll see your strength levels EXPLODE through the roof if you work this exercise assidiously – both normally – and in an isometric manner.

Those of you doing overhead presses and the such – watch out – be prepared for major league gains – in strength – and SIZE!

I should know.

The sweatshirt I just ordered is billowing around the waist, but the XXXL fits comfortably around the shoulders and traps, hehe.

Life is GOOD!

Get on a good isometric program now, my friend.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
